fåéìí=pÉäÉÅíáçå=oìäÉë
To transition an input to Program:
1. 
Select the desired input in the Inputs Section.  Once a button is pressed, it blinks, 
indicating that the source is “pending.” 
2. 
Press TAKE to transition the input to Program, using the current transition rate (as 
entered on the Setup Menu).   
Please note the following important points:  
All input buttons are selectable, whether or not they are physically connected, and 
whether or not they have valid signals.
~
When a button is blinking slow, it is ready to be transitioned to Program.   
When the Status Menu is on and you select an input, one of two actions occur:
~
The Input Menu automatically appears if Menu Context is 
ON
 (in the 
User Preference Menu
).  
~
The Status Menu remains on display if Menu Context is 
OFF
The “Invalid Signal” message appears under the following conditions:
~
If you select an input, and it does not have a valid signal. 
~
If an input was previously valid and its signal is lost.
~
If the current “user-selected” format does not match the detected input 
signal for the selected input. 
For information about using the system in conjunction with HDCP inputs, refer to

Note
Whenever TAKE is pressed, the PDS flip-flops sources in the 
Inputs Section
.  Refer to the “
” section on 
page 78 for additional information.
Note
If an input button is blinking slow and the Status Menu shows 
Invalid Signal,” the system has attempted to acquire the 
source, but has failed.
