Setting up and Using the USB Audio Connection

The USB Audio Connection feature allows you hook up a PC to this receiver. In this way you can hear soundtracks

from your computer. To use this feature follow the steps below. The USB port can only receive 2 channel

soundtracks. USB device controls on the computer (such as volume) may or may not work. In either case, we

recommend leaving all volume controls on max and controlling the volume from the receiver. This function has

been confirmed to work with Windows® 98, Windows® 2000, Windows® Me and Windows® XP operating systems
