Understanding How the Amplifier Works
The remote control supplied with the TA-VE800G uses infrared (IR) rays to command the amplifier and control the
on-screen display.
Since this amplifier uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.
On-screen operation
1
The remote commander emits an infrared (IR) signal when you press direction control button (
1
above).
2
This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (
2
above).
3
When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the centre of the direction control button, the
infrared (IR) emitter transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective programme source (
3
above).
If the screen does not appear or the pointer does not move when you press the direction control button
The IR code from the remote is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the amplifier (
1
above). Make sure there are no
obstacles between the remote and the amplifier.
If the programme source fails to respond or is slow to respond
The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the programme source. Connect the extra
IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the programme source (see “IR Repeater Hookups” on page 8).
If some of the programmed on-screen controls are unresponsive or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see
“Registering non-Sony Audio/Video equipment” on page 16).
The TV is used as a monitor
To watch TV programmes, use the TV tuner built into your VCR. The VCR controls in the on-screen display let you switch the
programme positions using the amplifier’s remote.
You can use the TV’s tuner when the amplifier is turned off, but operations must be performed using the remote supplied
with the TV.
