Watching video programmes
When you watch TV or video programmes, 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 programmes, turn on both the TV and the
amplifier and press the TV/LD button on the amplifier.
To watch videos or laser discs, do the following:
1
Press a function button to select the component
(for example, VIDEO 1).
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 amplifier and the
connected Sony components that can be controlled
