5Select the input function that you want to set up. The default names correspond with the names next to the terminals on the rear panel (such as DVD or VIDEO) which, in turn, correspond with the names on the remote control.

6Select the input(s) to which you’ve connected your component.

For example, if your DVD player only has an optical

output, you will need to change the DVD input function’s Digital In setting from COAX-1(default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to. The numbering (OPT-1to 3) corresponds with the numbers beside the inputs on the back of the receiver.

If your component is connected via a component video cable to an input terminal other than the default, you must tell the receiver which input terminal your component is connected to, or else you

may see the S-Video or composite video signals instead of the component video signals.1

7When you’re finished, proceed to the settings for other inputs.

There are three optional settings in addition to the assignment of the input jacks:

Input Name – You can choose to rename the input function for easier identification. Select Rename to do so, or Default to return to the system default.

Input Skip – When set to ON, that input is skipped when selecting the input using INPUT SELECT. (DVD and other inputs can be still be selected directly with the input function buttons.)

Input function default and possible settings

The terminals on the receiver generally correspond to the name of one of the input functions. If you have connected components to this receiver differently from (or in addition to) the defaults below, see The Input Setup menu on page 40 to tell the receiver how you’ve connected up. The dots () indicate possible assignments.
