Watching Video Programs
Watching Video Programs
When you watch video programs on your TV, VCR or LD
player, we recommend that you play the audio portion of the
video through the receiver (instead of your TV's speakers),
so that you can take advantage of sound field programs,
including Dolby surround sound. In this case, set the
speaker volume of TV to the minimum level.
To watch TV programs, turn on both TV and the receiver
and select TV with the FUNCTION knob on the receiver. To
watch videos or laser discs, use the following procedure if
you've hooked up your components as described in
"Connecting Video Components" on page 7. See your TV,
VCR, LD player's instruction manual if you need help.
Rotate the FUNCTION knob to select the
video program source you want.
