Getting Started
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.

Inserting the batteries
q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
wSet two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.
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.
e Put the rear cover back on.

Operating range of the remote control unit
30° 30°
Approx. 7 m
Getting Started
•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.
NOTE:
•It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
•Do not press buttons on the main unit and remote control unit simultaneously. Doing so may result in malfunction.
•Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such devices as possible.
