Using Other Functions
Setting up the DIRECT FUNCTION
The direct function will not be necessary for most users. It is designed in case you have an external video
source connected to your TV (a video source that is not going through the VSX-39TX). 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-39TX. 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.
2 Press the DIRECT FUNCTION button.
3 Choose to set the DIRECT
FUNCTION of each source to ON or
OFF by pressing on the ON/OFF
button.
A triangular arrow points from the ON/OFF button
towards a small nub next to the function names (DVD/
LD, CD, etc.) that can be turned ON/OFF. This nub will
disappear if that DIRECT FUNCTION is turned OFF.
Subsequently the nub will not appear on any remote
control screen if the DIRECT FUNCTION is OFF.
4 To leave the Direct Function mode
press the BACK button.
The default setting for all DIRECT FUNCTIONS is
ON.
Resetting the Remote Control
The following operations allow you to erase the settings stored in the remote control.
Hold down both the STANDBY/
ON button and MUTE button and
then push the RESET tab under the
battery cover on the back of the
remote control.
