One-Touch Video Play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR 1 (VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks), you can watch the video playback without setting other switches manually.

The receiver automatically turns on and changes the Zone 1 source to “VCR 1.”

The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture. When you insert a video cassette with its safety tab in place, press the play (3) button on the VCR or on its remote control. Thus, you can get the same result.

If the receiver is already turned on with the ZONE 2 indicator lights up and the source name for Zone 2 appears on the unit’s display, the receiver changes the Zone 2 source to “VCR 1.”

When you press PLAY on the remote control supplied for this receiver for operating the VCR 1, the receiver automatically turns on and changes the Zone 1 source or Zone 2 source to

“VCR 1”—depending on ZONE 1/ZONE 2 selector setting on the remote control.

For Zone 1 operations only: The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the appropriate position so that you can view the playback picture.

You can control the connected video components using this remote control. Aim the remote control at the remote sensor(s) on the target video component(s) or on the receiver directly.

For details, see page 58.

Note:

To operate the video components from Zone 2, use the RF rod antenna and IR signal transmitter (see pages 14 and 15).
