Multi Operation and System Off

The Multi Operation feature allows you to program a series of commands for the components in your system. For example, you could turn on your TV, turn on your DVD player and start playing the loaded DVD using only two buttons on the remote control.

Similar to multi operations, System Off allows you to use one button to stop and switch off a series of components in your system at the same time.

Note

•Before Multi Operation and System Off will work correctly, you must setup the remote to work with your TV and other components (see Recalling preset codes on page 61 and Programming signals from other remote controls on page 63 for more on this).

•Power on and off commands only work with components that have a standby mode.
