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 VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX). 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 VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX. 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.
