First Time Setup
To enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS, you must connect your
DVD player to the AV receiver digitally (coaxial or opti-
cal).
Here are the default assignments.
With this function, you can change the digital inputs
assign. If, for example, you connect your DVD player to
the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL 1 input (OPT1), you’ll need
to assign it to the DVD input source, as follows.
Note:
Make sure that components connected digitally are con-
figured to output digital audio. Refer to the relevant man-
uals.
If you connect an -capable Onkyo MiniDisc
recorder, CD recorder or next generation HDD-compat-
ible component to the TAPE IN/OUT or VIDEO 2 IN
jacks, for to work properly, you must change this
setting.
This setting can only be changed on the AV receiver.
Note:
HDD can be selected for the TAPE input selector or
VIDEO 2 input selector, but not both at the same time.
