Mapping Virtual Sources

Certain A/V receivers use virtual sources, which require mapping on the A/V receiver itself (and
not through the Crestron Home system) to map switching commands to connectors. For these
A/V receivers, the source selections on the handheld remote are mapped to a physical connection
on the back of the receiver using the receiver's web-based or on-screen configuration interface.
Receivers that use virtual mapping behave in the Crestron Home system as follows:

l The source selections in the Crestron Home system mimic the selections on the handheld
remote.
l The receiver's physical connectors (such as HDMI) will always be labeled as “GenericAV” in
the Crestron Home interface. This is done to allow the mapping in the receiver to be
changed without requiring an update to the Crestron Home interface.

For example, if a Blu-ray Disc player source is mapped to the Component 1 input, and the
mapping was changed to use the HDMI 1 input, the Blu-ray Disc player is still selected as the
source in the Crestron Home interface. The connection label will show GenericAV even though
the connector has been changed to HDMI 1.
Additionally, if a Sonos CONNECT is mapped to the Audio In 5 (CD) input, and the mapping was
changed to use the Optical 1 (CD) input, the Sonos CONNECT is still selected as the audio source
in the Crestron Home interface. The connection label will show GenericAV even though the
connector has been changed to Optical 1 (CD).
