Using the System

Tip: If you set up the remote to control a TV, the TV POWER, MUTE, and

VOLUME buttons will control the TV volume when you’re in most other modes.

Remote Control Buttons

Control the Receiver

When you get the remote it’s already set up to control the receiver. But, you must set up the remote to control the TV before you can use the MUTE and VOLUME buttons.

For information on the remote buttons that control the receiver, please see Remote Control on page 20.

Control a TV (or a Second TV)

Only the buttons described here control a TV. Some of the buttons described here may not control your TV. Please see your TV user’s manual for information about the TV’s features.

TV Mode Button

You must first set up the remote to control the TV. Please see Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices, beginning on page 68. Then,

you must press the TV mode button to set the remote to TV mode. The TV mode button lights for two seconds to show you’ve set the remote to TV mode. Make sure you keep the remote in TV mode to use the buttons described here.

Note: You can set up the remote to control a second TV in AUX mode, the same way it controls the first TV in TV mode. See Set Up the Remote to Control Devices beginning on page 68.

TV/Video Button

If the TV has video input options, use this button to switch the TV video input.

Note: If you set up the remote to control one TV in TV mode and an additional TV in AUX mode, pressing the TV POWER button controls only the TV you set up in TV mode.
