DVD, CD, etc.) after you program it to do so. If your component(s) are listed in the remote control's memory, simply
follow the steps below. If your component(s) are not listed, or if you want the remote to learn additional operations,
you can use the learning mode to input the information from the remote controls supplied with your other
components,

The following steps show you how to recall the setting stored in the remote control. Once a setting is recalled and
o: EE
the component assigned, you can use this remote to easily operate the component.
Memo:
« To exit from the remote control setup mode at any time, press REMOTE SETUP.
‚ See “Using Remote Control with Other Components" on page 67 to operate your other components.
< The display will disappear after one minute or so if no new com mands are entered. Press any button to
wake up the remote and continue the process.
1 Press the REMOTE SETUP button for
three seconds.
The REMOTE SETUP menu appears on the remote dis-
play.
PRESET should be selected (if it isn't
use the AY buttons to select it) and
press ENTER.
SELECT FUNCTION flashes in the display.
Press the MULTI CONTROL button (for
example, DVD/LD) you want to set.
The TUNER button cannot be assigned.
Use the AY buttons to select the
component you want to set up. Press
ENTER.
MAKER appears in the remote control display.
Use the AY buttons to select the
name of the company that makes
your component (see page 116).
The company names appear in the remote control display.
If there is more than one component type for that com-
pany that makes your component then —1, —2, etc. will
appear in the display. Choose one of the types and see if
that works.
63

Point the remote controf at the
component you want set and press
ENTER.
OK? will appear in the remote control display.
If the component you are trying to control turns onfofi you
have set it correctly. Use the 4F buttons to select YES
and go on to step +.
If the component you are trying to control does not tum
on/off the correct preset code has not been selected. in
this case, use the 4 Y buttons to select NO, press ENTER
and go back to step 5, Try another preset code for that
maker. (If the component you are trying to setup doesn't
have a standby/on mode it vont turm on even ¡f the cor-
rect preset code is entered. in this case select YES and go
on to step 7.)
If you cant seem to get the component you are trying to
set to turn on or off you can still set up your remote con-
trol by using the LEARNING mode ton the next page).
Press ENTER. The preset code has
been entered.
COMPLETE will appear in the display.
Naturally it's easiest and most logical to assign the bution
that has the same name as the component you are set-
ting up {for example, choose the DWD/LD button for your
DYD player).
You may find you have components which do not corre-
‘spond to the name on any MULTI CONTROL button {for
example a cable TY tuner) or you have two components
where only one button is provided (for example, CD-R/
TAPE 1). In this case, use step 3 to assign any available
MULTI CONTROL button to the component you want to
remote control.
For example, you may have both a CD-R and a tape deck
in your system but only one video deck. It would make
sense to assign the CD-R/TAPE 1 MULTI CONTROL button
to the CD-R and the YCR 2 MULTI CONTROL button te
your tape deck. To do this choose YCR 2 in step 3 when
you want to set up the tape deck. Then choose TAPE in
step 4 and proceed as above. The only praciical difference
in this method is that vou have to remember the VCK 2
KHULTI CONTROL button is actually your tape deck.
In this case, you would need to hook up your tape deck to
the input jacks marked YCR 2 on the back of the receiver.

Repeat the process from step 2 for all
of your components.
Use AY to select EXIT and press
ENTER.

Memo:
+ The above operations are available from the receiver's remote control after you program it {see
“Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components” an page 63).
* To perform these operations, press the MULTI CONTROL button for the component you want to control.
» For mare information on individual commands consult the manual that came with the component.
e The first four buttons on the table "Cable Tv/Satellite TV/Digital TV/TV operations” are dedicated to control
the TV assigned to the TV CONT button. Thus if you only have one T¥ hooked up to this system, assign it to
the T% CONT button. If you have two TVs, assign the main TV to the TY CONT button. If you hook up your
system this way, the first four TY controls will always be accessible.
« Depending on the maker and individual model, there are some buttons that may not be able operate some
equipment or may operate it in a different way.
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-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.
1 Press the REMOTE SETUP button for
three seconds.
The REMOTE SETUP menu appears on the remote
display.
2 Use the AY buttons to select
DIRCTFNC and press ENTER.
SELECT FUNCTION will flash in the remote contro!
display.
3 Press the MULTI CONTROL button of
the component whose direct function
you want to turn on or off.
DIRECTFUNC appears on the remote control display.
The TUNER button cannot be assigned.
A Use the AY buttons to select ON,
OFF, or EXIT and press ENTER.
ON: The direct function is on.
OFF: The direct function is off.
EXIT: Leaves the direct function settings and
returns you to the REMOTE SETUP menu.
After you press ENTER, if you chose one of the first
two settings, COMPLETE will appear in the display.
5 Repeat steps 2-4 to set the direct
function for as many components as
you want.
