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-53TX). 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-53TX. 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 While holding down the REMOTE
SETUP button press 4 to select the
direct function setup mode.
The LED begins to blink.
To cancel the direct function setup mode press REMOTE
SETUP.
2 Press the MULTI CONTROL button of
the component whose direct function
you want to turn on or off.
The LED lights and remains lit.
For example, if you want to turn off direct function for VCR
2, you would press VCR 2.
The TUNER button cannot be assigned.
3 Set the direct function of each
external source to OFF by pressing 2,
ON by pressing 1.
The LED blinks.
ON: The direct function is on.
OFF: The direct function is off.
For example, if you want to turn off direct function for
VCR 2, you would press 2.
4 Repeat steps 2-3 to set the direct
function for as many components as
you want.
5 Press the REMOTE SETUP button to
exit the direct function setup mode.
Memo:
• To exit from the REMOTE SETUP at any
time, press REMOTE SETUP.
• The default setting for all direct functions
is ON.
