The Outlaws’ Guide to the Marantz AV7005 

 

Input Assign sub-menu 

 
The 

HDMI

 column allows the user to select from the six HDMI connections. Note that 

each HDMI connection may be assigned to only one input.

 

 
The 

Digital

 column allows the user to select from the five digital audio connections. 

Connections Opt1 and Opt2 are optical ports on the rear panel, connection Opt3 is the 
front panel optical port, and connections C1 and C2 are coaxial ports. See the 
Connection Summary Sheet to determine which inputs are using digital audio 
connections

In some cases, users may prefer to use an HDMI connection for video only 

and to use a separate digital audio connection for audio. In that case, a digital 
connection can be set here and the HDMI setting will still be used for video. We will 
select the desired audio source later in the 

Input Mode

 sub-menu. If no digital audio 

connection is required for an input, select “None”. 
 
The 

Comp.

 column allows users to select from the four component video connections. 

As with the HDMI connections, each of the four component video connections can be 
assigned to only one input. 
 
When finished in the 

Input Assign

 sub-menu, press “RETURN” on the remote to return 

to the 

Input Setup

 menu. Once there, scroll down one spot to the 

Video 

sub-menu and 

press “ENTER” to select it.
