Using the receiver to play a source
After having properly connected a source (DVD, CD,
VCR) to the receiver, you can partly control them
through the receiver.
Playing a DVD with the receiver

ing your receiver for details)
2. Press STANDBY/ON to switch on the receiver
3. Select the DVD source by pressing the DVD source
button
4. Switch ON the DVD player and start playback
5. Switch ON your TV
6. Select the appropriate A/V channel on the TV
(refer to your TV manual for details) until the image
from the DVD player is displayed
7. Set the sound Mode if needed (see "Advanced
sound control" for details)
Example 1:
To play 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound
Press SURR. MODE button until "Dolby Digital"
appears on the Display and all of the speakers’
icons light up.
Example 2:
DVD: You may also need to select the Dolby Digital
5.1 on the DVD disc menu to have the digital sur-
round enabled providing that the disc is encoded
with Dolby Digital 5.1 (please refer to the DVD
player and DVD disc instruction)
NOTE
Once your remote is encoded, you can press
ON/OFF on the remote once to turn off the
component and then followed by the second
time quickly to turn off the receiver (i.e. this
unit). If you only want the receiver to be

before pressing ON/OFF.
HINT
This remote may not operate all models of
the brands shown.
If batteries are removed from the battery
compartment of the remote control, all mem-
ory will be lost. You need to re-enter all
previously programmed codes again.
The buttons on the remote may not work
correspondingly with those on other brand
components. Experiment with the remote and
your components to see which buttons work.
If only a few functions operate, check to see if
another code set will work with more but-
tons.
NOTE
To play Dolby Digital sound, the source must be
connected to the receiver via the optical or
coaxial terminal (see "Digital Connection” on
page 5 for details)
