Remote control of the TV and VCR using this remote control
See page 55 for details.
For the VCR and the TV:
•Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each component.
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 center unit automatically turns on and changes the source to “VCR.”
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 or on the remote control. So, you can get the same result.
Automatic Selection of TV’s Input Mode —————
•When you select “TV SOUND” as the source to play on the center unit, the TV automatically changes the input mode to the TV tuner so that you can watch TV.
•When you select “VCR” or “DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”) as the source to play on the center unit, 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” as the source on the center unit, 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 the previously selected source is “VCR” the TV and VCR will turn on automatically.
•If the previously selected source is “TV SOUND” or “DBS” (or “DBS DIGITAL”), only the TV will turn on automatically.
When you turn off the center unit, the TV and VCR will turn off.
Notes:
•When system power is ON:
If the television monitor power is OFF, starting DVD playback will not turn on the television monitor. Please perform the necessary operations directly with the television monitor.
•If you turn off the center unit while recording on the VCR, the VCR will not turn off, but continue recording.
•When “TV SOUND” is selected, in order for the AV COMPU LINK to change television input to “TV,” the onscreen display will not be viewable on the television monitor. To view the onscreen display, set the television monitor to the correct video input.
•When connected to a television with a DBS tuner, the television’s automatic DBS switch will not operate.
