If an AV Receiver is connected to the TV and AV Receiver Setup is completed in the Initial Setup, you can control the AV Receiver using the Keypad.

To control the AV Receiver, press AMP to light up the AMP indicator and activate AV Receiver control. Point the Keypad to the TV, and use the following keys (keys with orange dots):

  • (BD/EXT): turns on/off the AV Receiver
  • INPUT: changes the input of the AV Receiver
  • VOL: changes the volume up (+) or down (−) of the AV Receiver
  • MUTING: silences the volume of the AV Receiver

Note

  • The AMP indicator turns off after 30 seconds, or if you press AMP while the AMP indicator is on. This ends control of the AV Receiver.

Tip

  • Press Fn + AMP, the AMP indicator turns on for two seconds. This allows you to continuously control the AV Receiver using (ON/STANDBY) /INPUT/VOL. To return to normal control, press Fn + AMP until the AMP indicator blinks four times.
