CONFIGURATION (of) INPUTS

Define Inputs

The input definition screen allows
you to set up and assign all available
inputs. Using the 

RIGHT

and 

LEFT

arrow keys allows you to cycle
through all available inputs. 

Available inputs will depend on
Surround Sound modes chosen.
Inputs 1 and 7 can be configured for
multi-channel use, either 5.1 or 7.1,
in addition to Stereo or Disabled.
Surround Sound modes make use of
adjacent inputs on the back panel as
necessary. 

For instance: If you set Input 1 to 7.1
Surround, Input 1 now controls
Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4. When you define
Input as a Surround format, inputs 2,
3 (and 4 if you chose 7.1 surround)
will no longer be available separately

and will be skipped when cycling
through inputs, as they now are
defined as being part of Input 1. On
the back panel of the unit, these
numbered inputs are also labeled
according to their Surround Speaker:
Input 1 - F for Front left and right.
Input 2 - C for center and LFE for sub-
woofer. Input 3 - S for surrounds and
Input 4 - SB for Surround Back. You
will notice that inputs 6-9 follow a
similar format. Green LEDs on the
back panel show which inputs are
selected to aid in cable connection. 

Disable:

When cycling through inputs from
both the front panel and remote,
selecting 

DISABLE 

deactivates an

input and removes it from the menu. 

Edit Input Name

Input selections can be labeled with
up to 8 characters consisting of
upper and lower case letters, a space
and numbers 0-9. Press 

ENTER

to

edit Input Name. A cursor will
appear. Use the 

RIGHT

and 

LEFT

arrow buttons to move cursor. Use
the 

UP

and 

DOWN

arrow buttons to

select the letters and numbers of
your choice. Press 

ENTER

again to

exit Edit mode. 

Set MAIN Volume

Each individual input can be adjusted
in .5 dB steps to match levels from
various source components when
selected (factory default is 65). Use
