1If your source is the TV’s built-in tuner, switch to the channel you want to watch, otherwise make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver (For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is selected). Turn down the volume of your TV so that all the sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.
