SOURCE SELECTOR

When selecting a source by turning SOURCE SELECTOR, the
audio and video inputs with the corresponding name are
activated. The incoming signal is reproduced by all audio and
– if the source includes a video signal – video outputs of the
receiver. It is possible to reassign a source selection to other
than these standard inputs.

6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT selection

The 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT connectors can be assigned to
any of the available sources (excluding TUNER and PHONO).
The assignment can be done via the * SELECT INPUT
option in the menu. See below for more details.

Reassigning a source selection

If a source is selected with SOURCE SELECTOR the standard
audio input is used. To change this, the source selection must
be reassigned to another audio input.
Example: Reassigning CD from the analog CD IN audio input
to the digital COAX 2 IN audio input.
1 Choose * SELECT INPUT from the menu and press
NEXT 2.
2 Turn SOURCE SELECTOR to select the source which should
be reassigned (e. g. CD).
The name of the source is displayed and the light of the
y
source flashes.
3 Turn X MENU NAVIGATOR to select the input connectors
which should be used (e. g. CD -> COAX2).
4 Press ENTER / OK to confirm your selection.
STORED is displayed briefly.

5 This source selection is now using the chosen audio input
(e. g. CD uses the COAX 2 IN input connectors,
lights when switching to CD).
Using one source selection for two or more
appliances
You may assign more than one source to a source selection.
This can be useful when products are connected one after the
other in a chain.
Example: A VCR is connected to the TV but only the TV is
connected to the receiver. Both SOURCE SELECTOR
settings, TV as well as VCR, have to use the TV
input connectors.
1 Choose * SELECT INPUT from the menu and press
NEXT 2.
2 Turn SOURCE SELECTOR to select the source which should
be reassigned (e. g. VCR).
The name of the source is displayed and the light of the
y
source flashes.
3 Turn X MENU NAVIGATOR to select the input connectors
which should be used (e. g. VCR -> TV IN).
4 Press ENTER / OK to confirm your selection.
STORED is displayed briefly.

5 This source selection is now using the chosen audio input (e.
g. VCR uses the TV IN input connectors, VCR <TV IN> is
displayed briefly when switching to VCR).

About 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT

The 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT can be used to connect a
device with a built-in multichannel decoder (e.g. Dolby Digital,
DTS, etc.) and 6-channel output connector, i. e. a high end
DVD player.
When using the 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input, the
receiver works as a multichannel amplifier. The source
reproduces surround sound and sends it to the receiver
divided into the necessary channels. Therefore the
SURROUND ON/OFF, HALL and SURR. MODE button have no
effect since the provided signal is already multichannel.
From a source which is connected to the
6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input cannot be recorded.
