is not going through the VSX-55TXi). 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-55TXi. 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.
