[. . . ] Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI Connections • Turn off all devices (including the TV, the AVR and any source components). € Unplug the HDMI cables, starting with the cable between the AVR and the TV, and continuing with the cables between the AVR and each source device. € Carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR. Connect the cable from the AVR to the TV last. € Turn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source devices. NOTE: Depending upon the particular components involved, the complexity of the required communication between HDMI components may cause delays of up to a minute in the completion of some actions, such as input switching or switching between SD and HD channels. Controlling the Volume Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel Volume knob (clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote.

Selecting a Surround Mode Selecting a surround mode can be as simple or sophisticated as your individual system and tastes.
