Multi Operations

Multi operations allow you to tell the receiver and your other components to do a number of things with the push of only two buttons on the LCD commander. For example, you can program the unit to turn on your TV, turn on your DVD player and start playing the loaded DVD. This allows you to freely decide which operations you want performed as well as the order in which you want them performed. The steps below show you how to program a string of up to 5 different operations based on eight possible components. You don't need to program the power of this unit to go on, it will do so automatically when multi operations are recalled.

memo Be sure to recall or learn the remote commands for each component before attempting multi operations (see “Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components“, p. 47).
