z When you watch TV or video programs
We recommend you play audio portion through the
receiver instead of your TV’s speakers. 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.
