Initial Set Up

DIGITAL INPUT SELECT

In order to be able to use your digital equipment properly you need to assign digital inputs for each of the digital components you connected. Match the DIGITAL IN buttons 1-4 with the digital jacks 1-4 in accordance with what component is hooked up to each digital jack. Check the digital terminal numbers on the back of the receiver to make certain what component is in which jack (if necessary, see p.10 for more on digital connections). The last button, the AC-3 RF button, is specifically for a DVD/LD or LD player with an AC-3 RF output. If you connected one of these components match this button to the component. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.23) first.

11 Press the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT button.

2 Press the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT button you want to assign to select it. Each further press scrolls through the possible components (functions) you can choose from. Select the component you hooked up to that digital input with that number.

This procedure assigns a digital function to the DIGITAL IN. Once one function (for example DVD/LD) has been assigned its name disappears from the possibilities on the remaining buttons because one function cannot be assigned twice.

If a digital jack has nothing connected to it set the corresponding button to OFF.
