Watching video programs

When you watch TV or video programs, we

recommend you play audio portion through the

receiver instead of your TV’s speaker. This lets you

take advantage of the receiver’s surround sound

effects, like Dolby Surround, and lets you use the

receiver’s remote to control the audio.

Turn off the speakers on your TV before you start so

you can enjoy the surround sound from your receiver.

To watch TV programs, turn on both the TV and the

receiver and turn FUNCTION to select TV.

To watch videos or laser discs, do the following:

1 Turn FUNCTION to select the component (for

example, VIDEO 1).

2 Turn on the TV and set the TV’s video input to

the receiver.

3 Turn on the component (VCR or LD player), and

start playback.
