Controlling other equipment

Direct function

• Default setting: On (all components)

You can use the direct function feature to control one component using the remote control while at the same time, using your receiver to playback a different compo- nent. This could let you, for example, use the remote control to set up and listen to a CD on the receiver and then use the remote control to rewind a tape in your VCR while you continue to listen to your CD player.

When direct function is on, any component you select (using the MULTI CONTROL buttons) will be selected by both the receiver and the remote control. When you turn direct function off, you can operate the remote control without affecting the receiver.

Similar to multi operations, System Off allows you to use one button to stop and switch off a series of components in your system at the same time.
