Assigning input terminal names/
Setting input terminal to be skipped
Display: (Input terminal name) = ***
You can assign names to the input terminals and change the
input source names displayed. You can also set the terminals to be
skipped when you do not want to use them.
For example, when a super audio CD player is connected to
the RCA2 terminals and a DVD player is connected to the RCA3
terminals, the RCA2 and RCA3 terminals can be set to “SACD” and
“DVD” respectively while the other terminals can be set to “*skip”.
When the INPUT knob is turned, only “SACD” and “DVD” will be
selected, making it easier to select only the terminals you want to
use.
Changing the terminal name
Press the INPUT buttons () repeatedly to change the
current input terminal name while the input terminal name (XLR1,
XLR2, RCA1, RCA2 or RCA3) and “=” are displayed.
Each time the INPUT buttons () is pressed, the available
terminal names changes as follows:
CD w DAC w SACD w DVD w CD-R w DVD-R
w
TAPE w MD w TUNER w PC w MP3 w AUX
w TV w VIDEO w VCR w * skip w 88888 (editable)
Setting the terminal to be skipped
Press the INPUT buttons () repeatedly until “*skip”
appears while the input terminal name (XLR1, XLR2, RCA1, RCA2
or RCA3) and “=” are displayed.
o The skip function will not work when all terminals are set to
“*skip”.
o When “THRU” is selected for RCA2 terminals and sound signals
are output from the terminals, you cannot use the VOLUME knob/
control buttons of this unit.
When you select “THRU”, be sure to connect the RCA2
terminals to a device that allows you to control the
volume level at the device side. Also make sure to
adjust the volume level of the device to the minimum
before you select “THRU”. Gradually increase the
volume level of the connected device.
Failure to do so may allow very loud sounds to be
output suddenly and it could cause damage to the
speakers and/or to your hearing.
