This unit can change the source that is assigned to the HDMI IN, 

DIGITAL AUDIO IN, COMPONENT VIDEO IN, VIDEO IN and AUDIO 

IN connectors.

Let us take a digital audio connection for Blu-ray Disc players for an 

example. The rear panel digital audio input connectors do not have the 

input connector indication for Blu-ray disc players (Blu-ray). However, 

DIGITAL AUDIO IN connectors have the “ASSIGNABLE” indication, 

which means that you can change the source assigned to these 

connectors. You can assign Blu-ray disc players to these connectors 

to use them for Blu-ray disc players. Select “Blu-ray” when switching 

functions on this unit to play back the source connected to these 

connectors.
