Then press the ENTER button (or the MULTI JOG dial). There are three second tier setup modes: Assign Setup, Surround Setup and Rename. The first of these, Assign Setup, is for telling the receiver which components are hooked up to which terminals and how they are connected as well as setting up the optional MULTI ROOM feature, which is only used if you want the receiver to power systems in more than one room. In the Assign Setup menu you must make the Digital In adjustments if you didn't follow the default settings when you hooked up your DVD/LD player. We suggest you start with Digital In and adjust and make all the necessary adjustments here and then move on to the other entries in this menu and decide if you need to make these adjustments. It is likely you will not need to bother with any of the other things on this menu.
