When you listen with headphones
Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack. No sound will come from the speakers.
Watching/listening to video programs
When you watch/listen to TV or video programs, we recommend you play audio portion through the receiver instead of your TV’s speaker. This lets you take advantage of the receiver’s surround sound effects, such as Dolby Pro Logic Surround and lets you use the receiver’s remote to control the audio.
Turn off the speakers on your TV before you start so you can enjoy the surround sound from your receiver.
To watch/listen to TV programs, turn on the TV, TV tuner and the receiver and press TV/SAT on the receiver.
To watch videos, do the following:
1Press VIDEO to select the VCR.
2Turn on the TV and set the TV’s video input to match your video component.
3Turn on the VCR, and start playback.
Using the remote
The remote lets you operate the receiver and the Sony components that are connected to it.
