This makes operation even more convenient, as you now have all important functions combined on one remote control unit, and will have to use the remote control of your TV set only very rarely.

>Use the Volume + key to increase the volume of your receiver, and the Volume - key to reduce the sound volume.

>Press the Sound on/off key to mute the sound completely. Pressing the same key again will restore the sound.
