35button lighting up in red. Press that Input Selector again quickly to selectthe source whose name appears above the button (i.e., CD, The Bridgeor HDMI 2), and the selector will light in green to indicate that you haveselected the source whose name is printed above the button.The AVR 147 will switch to the audio and video inputs assigned to thesource. If you set the BASS MGR setting in the Speaker X-over menu toINDEPENDENT, the AVR 147 will change the speaker size configurationto the one you programmed for the source. If you selected a surroundmode for the source, the AVR 147 will switch to that mode.The source name will appear in the upper line of the front-panel display.If you retitled the source, only the new title will appear. Otherwise, theaudio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audioinputs) will also appear. The surround mode will be displayed on thelower line. The same information will also appear on screen in thesemi-OSD, unless you have set the semi-OSD to OFF in the SystemSetup menu, as described in the Advanced Functions section.Audio Input SelectionThe AVR 147 is programmed at the factory to use the analog audioinputs for each source (except for the DVD, Video 2, HDMI 1 and HDMI 2sources; see Table 4). To assign a digital audio input to a source (if youhave not done so using the Input Setup menu during Initial Setup), pressthe Digital Button on the remote or front panel. The current audio inputselection will flash in the display, and you may press the ⁄/¤ (or ‹/›on the front panel) Buttons to scroll through the audio inputs. When thedesired input appears, press the Set Button to select it. See Figure 64.Figure 64 – Digital Input SelectionIf the Auto Poll feature is ON in the Input Setup menu, and if a digitalaudio input has been assigned to the source, the AVR 147 will firstcheck the digital audio input for a signal. If a signal is present, theAVR 147 will select the digital audio input. If no signal is present,the AVR 147 will switch to the analog audio inputs for the source.Video Input SelectionWhen a source is selected, the AVR 147 switches to a video inputas follows:Only signals originating at one of the two HDMI inputs will be availableat the HDMI output. The AVR 147 will not transcode or convert any othertypes of video signals to the HDMI format. In addition, the AVR 147cannot access the video data in the HDMI stream. The on-screen displaysare not available via the HDMI output. To view the AVR’s displays, connectthe Composite or S-video Monitor Output to the corresponding input onyour TV, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for selecting the cor-rect video input on your TV.The COMPONENT IN line of the Input Setup menu indicates which of thetwo component video inputs on the AVR 147 is assigned to each source.All of the sources listed in the left column of the Source Indicatorsdisplay on the front panel are assigned to the Component Video 2inputs by default, and the sources listed in the right column default tothe Component Video 1 sources. See Figure 65.Figure 65 – Front-Panel Input IndicatorsYou may reassign either component video input to another source if itis physically connected to that input, but there is no option to disablethe component video inputs for any source. If a signal is present at thecomponent video input assigned to that source, it will be selected. Ifyour device is not using component video, make sure that other devicesconnected to the component video inputs are turned off.If no signal is present at the component video input, then the S-video orcomposite video input for the source will be selected. It is not possibleto reassign the S-video or composite video inputs to other sources.For audio-only sources, such as the tuner or CD inputs, when no compo-nent video signal is present, the last-used video source will be selected.6-Channel Direct InputsIf you wish to hear audio through the 6-Channel Direct Inputs togetherwith video, then connect your multichannel player to both the 6-ChannelInputs and the Component Video 1 Inputs (the default for the 6-ChannelInputs), and the correct audio and video inputs will be selected whenyou select 6CH as your source. If your multichannel player uses S-videoor composite video connections, first select the source you connectedthe video output to (e.g., DVD), and then select the 6CH source.See Figure 66.Figure 66 – 6-Channel Input SelectorExample 1: You would like to connect a DVD-Audio player to theAVR 147. You plan on playing a variety of discs using this player,including conventional DVDs and even CDs as well as multichanneldiscs. When playing DVDs and CDs, it is preferable to use a digitalaudio connection to obtain the best sound quality and the benefit of anydigital surround formats contained on the DVD. However, when playingDVD-Audio discs, you will need to use the 6-channel analog audioconnections. In addition, some of these discs contain video materials.The player does not have an HDMI output.We recommend that you connect this player as follows:a) Connect the player’s coaxial digital audio output to the Coaxial 1 inputon the AVR. This input is assigned by default to the DVD source.b) Connect the player’s component video outputs to the ComponentVideo 1 inputs on the AVR, which are assigned by default to the DVDsource.
