particular manufacturer that do not work with any of
the available codes.
• With some components, not all functions are
controllable by this remote.
• Refer to VCR / DVD / LD player and DVD recorder
controls on page 42 and Cable TV / satellite TV / digital

Remote Direct function

• Default setting: All inputs – ON
On the default setting, when you press an input select
button (DVD, DVR/VCR, etc.), both the receiver input
source and the remote control change to the selected
function.
When an input select button is set to OFF, pressing that
button changes the function of the remote control only.
This can be useful when you want to operate one
component without interrupting playback of another.
When set to OFF, use the INPUT button to change the
input source of the receiver.
1 Press RECEIVER and number button '4' at the
same time.
2 Press the input select button you want to set the
remote direct mode for.
Select DVD, DVR/VCR or TV/SAT. (You can't select FM/
AM.)
3 Press '1' to set the remote direct mode to ON or
'2' to set to OFF.
4 Press RECEIVER to finish.
