Controlling the Volume of Visual Components Connected to an Audio System
The Commander is factory preset based on the assumption that you hear the sound of your visual components from your TV speakers, and that you hear sound of your audio components from the loudspeakers connected to your amplifier.
This feature enables you to control the volume of your TV or amplifier without having to select TV or AMP each time you want to control the volume.
For example, to control the volume while using a VCR, you don’t need to press the TV button to control the TV volume.
You can switch the volume of all the visual components to the amplifier at the same time.
The following table shows the factory setting of which volume would be controlled for each component.

TAPE B | amplifier |
However, if your visual components are connected to an audio system, you probably hear TV or VCR sound from the loudspeakers via your amplifier, not from your TV speakers. In this case, you need to change the factory preset so that you can control the volume of your visual components without first having to switch to the amplifier.
