Setting up the Direct Function

Remote Control of Other Components

Setting up the Direct Function

The direct function is designed in case you have an external video source connected to your TV (a video source that is not going through the VSX-AX5i). 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 receiver in VCR 2 mode you'll get no picture on your TV because the external video deck signal is not going through the VSX-AX5i. 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 receiver does not go into VCR 2 mode.

1 Press the REMOTE SETUP button for three seconds.

The REMOTE SETUP menu appears on the remote display.

2 Use the  buttons to select

DIRCTFNC and press ENTER.

SELECT FUNCTION will flash in the remote control display.

3 Press the MULTI CONTROL button of the component whose direct function you want to turn on or off.

DIRECTFUNC appears on the remote control display.

The TUNER button cannot be assigned.

4 Use the  buttons to select ON,

OFF, or EXIT and press ENTER.

ON: The direct function is on.

OFF: The direct function is off.

EXIT: Leaves the direct function settings and returns you to the REMOTE SETUP menu.

After you press ENTER, if you chose one of the first two settings, COMPLETE will appear in the display.

Memo:

•To exit from the REMOTE SETUP mode at any time, press REMOTE SETUP.

•The default setting for all direct functions is ON.

5Repeat steps 2-4 to set the direct function for as many components as you want.

6Press the REMOTE SETUP button to return to the previous mode.
