Digital Input Default Settings

Connecting Your Equipment

Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component is connected to which jack so your components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default settings.

The default settings are:

DIGITAL IN 1 (optical): TV/SAT

DIGITAL IN 2 (optical): CD-R/TAPE1

DIGITAL IN 3 (coaxial): DVD/LD

DIGITAL IN 4 (coaxial): CD

See "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on page 76 if the way you hook up your equipment is different from the default settings listed above.
