Remote control of the TV, DVD player, and VCR using this remote control

See pages 47 to 51 for details.

•Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component.

One-touch video play

Simply by inserting a video cassette without its safety tab into the VCR, you can enjoy the video playback without setting other switches manually. The receiver automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR.”

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, press the play (3) button on the VCR 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. The following is set automatically:

•Turning on the receiver.

•Changing the source to “DVR/DVD.”

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

Automatic selection of TV input mode

•When you select “TV” 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 “DVR/DVD,” “VCR,” or “DBS” 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.
