Setting Up The Direct Function - Pioneer VSX-45TX Elite Operating Instructions Manual

Remote Control of Other Components

Setting up the DIRECT FUNCTION

The direct function will not be necessary for most users. It is designed in case you have an external video
source connected to your TV (a video source that is not going through the VSX-45TX). For this explanation we'll
call this the external video deck. You'd like to control 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
VSX-45TX. 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.
