Direct Function

The direct function is a useful feature which allows you keep the receiver in one function (for example, CD) while putting the remote control in a different function. This could let you, for example, use the remote control to set up and listen to a CD on the receiver and then use the remote control to rewind a tape in your VCR while you continue to listen to your CD player.

When the DIRECT function is ON any MULTI CONTROL button you press will change the function of both the receiver and the remote control. When you turn the DIRECT function OFF, you can operate the remote control without effecting the receiver. Thus you could switch the remote control the VCR and operate that component while the receiver plays a different component.
