Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack and set

Watching/listening to video programs
When you watch/listen to 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 Pro Logic 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/listen to TV programs, turn on the TV, TV tuner
and the receiver and press TV/SAT (TV/LD) on the receiver.
To watch videos or laser discs, do the following:
1 Press a function button to select the component
(for example, VIDEO).
2 Turn on the TV and set the TV’s video input to
match your video component.
3 Turn on the component (VCR or LD player), and
start playback.
Using the remote
The remote lets you operate the receiver and the Sony
components that are connected to it.
