Watching/listening to video programmes
When you watch/listen to TV or video programmes,
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, like 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.
