Watching video programs
When you watch TV or video programs, we
recommend you play audio portion through the
amplifier instead of your TV’s speaker. This lets you
take advantage of the amplifier’s surround sound
effects, like Dolby Surround, and lets you use the
amplifier’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 amplifier.
To watch TV programs, turn on both the TV and the
amplifier 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 amplifier.
3 Turn on the component (VCR or LD player), and
start playback.
