button lighting up in red. Press that Input Selector again quickly to select
the source whose name appears above the button (i.e., CD, The Bridge
or HDMI 2), and the selector will light in green to indicate that you have
selected the source whose name is printed above the button.
The AVR 147 will switch to the audio and video inputs assigned to the
source. If you set the BASS MGR setting in the Speaker X-over menu to
INDEPENDENT, the AVR 147 will change the speaker size configuration
to the one you programmed for the source. If you selected a surround
mode 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, the
audio input assigned to the source (analog or one of the digital audio
inputs) will also appear. The surround mode will be displayed on the
lower line. The same information will also appear on screen in the
semi-OSD, unless you have set the semi-OSD to OFF in the System
Setup menu, as described in the Advanced Functions section.
Audio Input Selection
The AVR 147 is programmed at the factory to use the analog audio
inputs for each source (except for the DVD, Video 2, HDMI 1 and HDMI 2
sources; see Table 4). To assign a digital audio input to a source (if you
have not done so using the Input Setup menu during Initial Setup), press
the Digital Button on the remote or front panel. The current audio input
selection will flash in the display, and you may press the
⁄

on the front panel) Buttons to scroll through the audio inputs. When the
desired input appears, press the Set Button to select it. See Figure 64.
Figure 64 – Digital Input Selection
If the Auto Poll feature is ON in the Input Setup menu, and if a digital
audio input has been assigned to the source, the AVR 147 will first
check the digital audio input for a signal. If a signal is present, the
AVR 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 Selection
When a source is selected, the AVR 147 switches to a video input
as follows:
Only signals originating at one of the two HDMI inputs will be available
at the HDMI output. The AVR 147 will not transcode or convert any other
types of video signals to the HDMI format. In addition, the AVR 147
cannot access the video data in the HDMI stream. The on-screen displays
are not available via the HDMI output. To view the AVR’s displays, connect
the Composite or S-video Monitor Output to the corresponding input on
your 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 the
two component video inputs on the AVR 147 is assigned to each source.
All of the sources listed in the left column of the Source Indicators
display on the front panel are assigned to the Component Video 2
inputs by default, and the sources listed in the right column default to
the Component Video 1 sources. See Figure 65.
Figure 65 – Front-Panel Input Indicators
You may reassign either component video input to another source if it
is physically connected to that input, but there is no option to disable
the component video inputs for any source. If a signal is present at the
component video input assigned to that source, it will be selected. If
your device is not using component video, make sure that other devices
connected to the component video inputs are turned off.
If no signal is present at the component video input, then the S-video or
composite video input for the source will be selected. It is not possible
to 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 Inputs
If you wish to hear audio through the 6-Channel Direct Inputs together
with video, then connect your multichannel player to both the 6-Channel
Inputs and the Component Video 1 Inputs (the default for the 6-Channel
Inputs), and the correct audio and video inputs will be selected when
you select 6CH as your source. If your multichannel player uses S-video
or composite video connections, first select the source you connected
the video output to (e.g., DVD), and then select the 6CH source.
See Figure 66.

Example 1: You would like to connect a DVD-Audio player to the
AVR 147. You plan on playing a variety of discs using this player,
including conventional DVDs and even CDs as well as multichannel
discs. When playing DVDs and CDs, it is preferable to use a digital
audio connection to obtain the best sound quality and the benefit of any
digital surround formats contained on the DVD. However, when playing
DVD-Audio discs, you will need to use the 6-channel analog audio
connections. 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 input
on the AVR. This input is assigned by default to the DVD source.
b) Connect the player’s component video outputs to the Component
Video 1 inputs on the AVR, which are assigned by default to the DVD
source. If your video display doesn’t have component video inputs,
