may then want to adjust other functions of your Receiver
while staying in the DVD device, so you would use the

functions to your DVD device, such as surround sound
controls, the receiver's DVD input code, the TV's power
code, etc. Everything that you need for watching a DVD on
your TV without having to jump back and forth from
Device to Device.

totally customized to your needs.
