Operating range of remote control unit
The area in which you can use the remote control to operate the VSX-AX3 is fairly large. To use, point the remote 
control toward the remote sensor on the front panel of this unit while within the range shown below.
Remote control may not function properly if:
• There are obstacles between the remote control and 
the remote sensor.
• Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the 
remote sensor.
• The receiver is located near a device emitting infrared 
rays.
• Operated simultaneously with another remote control 
which uses infrared rays.
Opening the Front Panel
To open the front panel push gently on the lower third of the panel with your finger.
Switching video system between PAL and NTSC
This receiver is able to use two types of video systems for its OSD (on screen display) either PAL or NTSC. If you 
don’t match the system on the amplifier with your home system no OSD will appear on your TV. The default setting 
is PAL. If you use this system you don’t need to make any settings here. People with multi-system TVs don’t need to 
worry about changing the setting either. If necessary, follow the instructions below to switch the type of video 
system.
1 Put the receiver in the STANDBY 
mode.
2 While holding down the TONE + but-
ton press the STANDBY/ON button. 
The video system type will change depending on the 
state the receiver was previously in. The new type, 
either PAL or NTSC, will appear in the display. It will be 
shown for about seven seconds and then the receiver 
returns to normal operating mode.
