Setting Up The Direct Function - Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX Operating Instructions Manual

Setting up the DIRECT FUNCTION

Changing the direct function from ON (the default) will not be necessary for most users. When the direct
function is ON it means the input for the receiver switches in accordance with the function for the remote
control.
Setting the direct function OFF is useful if you have an external video source connected to your TV (a video
source that is not going through the VSX-49TX). 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-49TX. 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.

A triangular arrow points from the ON/OFF button
towards a small nub next to the function names (DVD/
LD, CD, etc.) that can be turned ON/OFF. This nub will
disappear if that DIRECT FUNCTION is turned OFF.
Subsequently the nub will not appear on any remote
control screen if the DIRECT FUNCTION is OFF.
