Selecting different sources for picture and sound

While watching pictures from a video source (DVD player, VCR, or DBS tuner), you can listen to sound of an audio source.

Once you have selected a video source, pictures of the selected source are sent to the TV until you select another video source.

Press one of the audio source selecting buttons— PHONO, CD, TAPE/MD, CDR, FM/AM,

EXT 7.1CH—while viewing the picture from a video component such as the VCR or DVD player, etc.
