I looked at your manual, and it looks like you can take any of your RCA's and relabel them. In other words, just because it says "BluRay" on the RCA - if you have your BluRay plugged into an HDMI input (which I assume you do) - it doesn't mean you can't plug something else into the BluRay RCA. If you do that and re-label it to whatever you want to call it ("Bob", for example"), when you scroll through inputs on the Denon, the input you relabeled ("Bob", for example) will show up. The Denon doesn't know what's plugged into it...it only knows you selected that input. If you have the Apple TV and the BluRay each plugged into an HDMI input, you should have at least 2 RCA inputs open. Mark Forget it, I have to choose in the menu which input to use, I won't be doing it every time.....I think I will get splitters for the dvd input and plug both the bluetooth and cassette....then use the media input/output to plug the cd recorder I'm getting soon... Are you sure about that? If I recall correctly on my old Denon, you just change the name in the menu, then you can choose it from your input list. Mark |

So, you've changed the name of an RCA input, and when you go to select inputs - you can only choose HDMI or RCA? You can't select a specific input? Mark |

So, what happens if you plug an RCA line (like a phono preamp input or any other RCA analog input) into the BluRay RCA input, and press "BluRay" on the remote? Does it then give you the choice of HDMI or RCA? If so, what happens if you select RCA? With that input that's providing signal through the RCA line to the BluRay RCA input play? If you have not tried that, try it and let me know what happens. Looking more at the remote, it seems rather limited in what it can do. Mark |

Mark I could plug something in the rca, but then I would have to go in the menu and change the option, not willing to do that every time.... |

Well, the splitter option someone raised may be the best. Reading the Denon manual reminds me of one thing I strongly disliked about my Denons. Mark |

Mark I might upgrade next year, right now if I get the cd recorder I will split the dvd input for the bluetooth and cassette to share... |

Will check it out, assigning the inputs would ask which one, rca or hdmi...but will check again... I looked at your manual, and it looks like you can take any of your RCA's and relabel them. In other words, just because it says "BluRay" on the RCA - if you have your BluRay plugged into an HDMI input (which I assume you do) - it doesn't mean you can't plug something else into the BluRay RCA.

The Denon doesn't know what's plugged into it...it only knows you selected that input. If you have the Apple TV and the BluRay each plugged into an HDMI input, you should have at least 2 RCA inputs open. Mark I figured it out, lol...there's an Auxiliary 2, which is HDMI, I unplugged the Apple TV from Game HDMI and plugged it into the Aux 2, then plugged the Bluetooth to the Game RCA input, went to the menu and renamed those, now the Media Player RCAs are free which has in/out for the CD Recorder, ordered the recorder already, you see, I have quite a few songs I want on CDs, instead of going and change songs from different CDs...also reset the triggers accordingly... |
