Remote Control of Other Components

Setting up the DIRECT FUNCTION

The direct function will not be necessary for most users. It is designed in case you have an external video source connected to your TV (a video source that is not going through the VSA-AX10). For this explanation we'll call this the "external video deck." You'd like to control external video deck with this unit's remote control so you've assigned it a function button (for example purposes, the VCR 2 button). Yet, if you put the amplifier in VCR 2 mode you'll get no picture on your TV because the external video deck signal is not going through the VSA-AX10. To get around this problem you set the DIRECT FUNCTION for VCR 2 to OFF. Now when you press VCR 2 function button you can control the external video deck with the remote but the amplifier does not go into VCR 2 mode.
