Cautions on installation
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this
unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors
is used near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this
unit’s power supply cord and input/output connection cables.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using
indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder wires.
We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohms
coaxial cables.
Note:
For heat dispersal, do not install this equipment in a confined
space such as a book case or similar unit.
Wall
Note
q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
w Set two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in
the indicated direction.
e Put the rear cover back on.
Notes on batteries:
• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not
operate even when the remote control unit is operated
nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying
operation.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the
proper direction, following the “<” and “>” marks in the
battery compartment.
•To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
•Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the
inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
•When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries
ready and insert them as quickly as possible.

nearby may result in malfunction, so keep the set as far
away from such devices as possible.
• Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the
main unit as shown on the diagram.
• The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance
of approximately 7 meters from the main unit, but this
distance will be shorter if there are obstacles in the way or if
the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote
sensor.
• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle
of up to 30 degrees with respect to the remote sensor.
