One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR 1 (the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks), you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR 1.” The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture.

When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab, press the play (3) button on the VCR 1 or on the remote control. So, you can get the same result.

One-Touch DVD Play

Simply by starting playback on the DVD player, you can enjoy the DVD playback without setting other switches manually.

When the DVD player is connected through the analog input jacks on this receiver (and analog input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD” or “DVD MULTI.”

When the DVD player is connected through the digital input terminal on this receiver (and digital input is selected), the receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “DVD

DIGITAL.”

The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the position so that you can view the playback picture.

Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode

When you select “TV SOUND” (or “TV DIGITAL”) as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.

When you select “CDR/VCR 2” as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the Video Input 2 so that you can watch the playback picture.

When you select “DVD” (or “DVD DIGITAL”), “DVD MULTI,” “VCR 1,” “VIDEO” or “DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”) as the source to play on the receiver, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) so that you can view the playback picture.

Note:

When you select “TV SOUND” (or “TV DIGITAL”) as the source on the receiver, you cannot see the menu on the TV screen since the AV COMPU LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’s input mode to the TV tuner.

If you do not mind stopping listening to the TV sounds, you can then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV’s input mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video Input 2) the receiver is connected to.

Automatic Power On/Off

The TV, VCR 1 (the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks), and DVD player turn on and off along with the receiver.

When you turn on the receiver;

If the previously selected source is “VCR 1,” the TV and VCR 1 will turn on automatically.

If the previously selected source is “VIDEO,” “CDR/VCR 2,” “TV SOUND” (or “TV DIGITAL”) or “DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”), only the TV will turn on automatically.

If the previously selected source is “DVD” (or “DVD DIGITAL”) or “DVD MULTI,” the TV and DVD player will turn on

automatically.

When you turn off the receiver, the TV, VCR 1 and the DVD player will turn off.
