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. Source selected........Connectors used DVD COAX 1 digital audio input and DVD IN video input PHONO PHONO IN audio input TUNER The tuner part of the receiver is used, all inputs are switched off. CD CD IN audio input CDR/TAPE CDR/TAPE IN audio input TV TV IN audio input and no video input VCR VCR IN audio input and VCR IN video input SAT SAT IN audio input and SAT IN video input 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD INPUT selection The 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD 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 SELECT 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 SELECT to select the source which should be reassigned (e. g. CD). yThe name of the source is displayed and the light of the 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. ySTORED is displayed briefly. 5 This source selection is now using the chosen audio input (e. g. CD uses the COAX 2 IN input connectors, COAX 2 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 SELECT 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 SELECT to select the source which should be reassigned (e. g. VCR). yThe name of the source is displayed and the light of the 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. ySTORED 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/SACD INPUT The 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD 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/SACD player. When using the 6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD 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/SACD INPUT audio input cannot be recorded. 19
