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 press the TV button on the receiver.

match your video component.
