The AV Direct mode
The AV Direct mode allows the receiver to pass audio/ video signals arriving at one of the AV connector inputs to the AV connector outputs without the sound being output through the speakers connected to the receiver. This allows you to operate your other components as if they were connected directly to each other without the receiver being on. One use for this is if you want to record
