I have read the owners manual, and it contradicts itself. According to Page 8 it looks assignable, but according to Page 19 and Page 27 it looks like it is not. Which is it?

Thanks!

Page 8
RP5 DVD input (see pages 17-25)
Use this group of inputs to connect a device with analog multi-channel outputs, such as a DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD player. The composite and S-Video jacks are specifically designated for use with this input, or you may assign any of the DVI or component video inputs. A pair of analog audio inputs is also provided.

Page 19
Make sure to use the connections that correspond to the same video input. For example, if you connect a component’s composite or S-Video output to the Video 2 inputs on the Model 1070, you must also use the Component Video 2 inputs as well.
If a DVI (or HDMI) output is available, connect it in place of the component video outputs.

Page 27
If you are using a DVI connection from your DVD player, the Model 1070 will default to DVI 1 when it detects a signal at that input. Note that the DVI 1 input is available only when you select DVD. It is “hard-wired” to that input, but is available only when a signal activates it. The DVI 2 input is “hard-wired” to the Video 2 input. If you have a second DVI (HDMI) source, you should make the configuration adjustments for the device connected to DVI 2 in the Video 2 input.

"page 8...
or you may assign any of the DVI or component video inputs."

This is in fact a typo. The Component inputs and DVI inputs are fixed as described on pg. 19 and 27.

I apologize for any confusion this has caused.
