Setting Up the Direct Function
The DIRECT FUNCTION is designed in case you have an external video source connected to your TV (a video
source that is not going through the receiver). For this explanation we'll call this the "external video deck." You'd
like to control the external video deck with this unit's remote control so you've assigned it a function button (for
example purposes, the VCR 2 button). Yet, if you put the receiver in VCR 2 mode you'll get no picture on your
TV because the external video deck signal is not going through the receiver. To get around this problem you set
the DIRECT FUNCTION for VCR 2 to OFF. Now when you press VCR 2 function button you can control the
external video deck with the remote but the receiver does not go into VCR 2 mode.
1 Set the remote control slide switch to
SETUP.
Also make sure that your TV is on and set to the receiver.
2 Press the REMOTE SETUP (INPUT ATT)
button and

at the same time to select
