The AV receiver will automatically power on in conjunc- tion when it determines it to be necessary. Even if the AV receiver is connected to an pcompatible TV or player/recorder, it will not power on if it is not necessary. It may not power on in conjunction when the TV is set to output audio from the TV.

Linked functions with the AV receiver may not work depending on the model. Operate the AV receiver directly in such cases.
