Pioneer SC-LX85 - Manual (Page 76)

Multi Operation and System
Off
The Multi operation feature allows you to
program a series of up to 5 commands for the
components in your system.
! Be sure to call up the preset codes of devices
or perform programming signals for other
remote controls before multi operation
memory programming (page 75).
The Multi operation feature makes it easy to
perform the following operations by pressing
just two buttons.
Press MULTI OPERATION and then the DVD
input function button to:
1. Switch this receiver on.
2. Switch this receiver’s input to DVD.
3. Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-
grammed commands.
Similar to Multi operations, System off allows
you to use two buttons to stop and switch off
a series of components in your system at the
same time. Only one System off operation
sequence may be programmed.
Press MULTI OPERATION and then u SOURCE
to:
1. Transmit a sequence of up to five pro-
grammed commands.
2. Switch off all Pioneer devices including the
receiver (except DVD recorders and VCRs).
For greater convenience, program this receiver
to perform power on/off and playback opera-
tions on non-Pioneer devices as well. (The
signals for Pioneer devices described above
are not contingent on programming for non-
Pioneer devices.)
The buttons that can be programmed using
Multi operation or System off are the same but-
tons as those that can be programmed for other
remote controls (see Programming signals from
other remote controls on page 75).
Note
! Before Multi operation and System off will
work correctly, you must setup the remote to
work with your TV and other components (see
Setting the remote to control other components
on page 74 for more on this).
! Some units may take some time to power up,
in which case multiple operations may not be
possible.
! Power on and off commands only work with
components that have a standby mode.
! Some remote controllers for other
manufacturers’ devices use the same signals
for switching the power on and off. In some
cases, even if this receiver is programmed to
perform these commands, power to the non-
Pioneer devices may not be switched on and
off correctly. Program the receiver to perform
these commands if the non-Pioneer device
uses separate signals for power on/off.

been successfully completed.
Direct function
! Default setting: On
You can use the direct function feature to con-
trol one component using the remote control
while at the same time, using your receiver to
playback a different component. 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 input function 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 affect-
ing the receiver.
