Digital-5 (optical) – DVR (/VCR1)

Digital-6 (optical) – CD-R (/TAPE1/MD)

2RF (coaxial) – DVD/LD

You only need to do this if you didn’t hook up your digital equipment according to the default settings for the digital inputs (see above). This setting tells the amplifier what digital equipment is hooked up to which terminal so the buttons on the remote correspond to what you have hooked up.
