Receiver Operations

Note

Pressing a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button will activate the component indicated for that button (i.e., the component connected to the respective connector). If, however, the connected component is different from the one indicated for the button, the component will not be activated when the button is pressed only once.

For example, to watch Sony LD player connected to the VIDEO 2 jacks (as shown on page 9):

Press VIDEO 2 to switch the function, then press LD to set the remote control to operate the LD player.
