USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

• Point the remote control at the remote sensor located on the unit.

• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared remote sensor may be degraded,

causing unreliable operation.

• The recommended eective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

TO INSTALL BATTERIES

1. Open the battery door. 2. Insert 2 “AAA” batteries.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the batteries become weak, the operating distance of the remote control is greatly reduced and you will

need to replace the batteries.

CAUTION:

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

NOTES

• If the remote control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by

battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-

CADMIUM) batteries.

• Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak.

• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control.

• WARNING : Do not dispose of batteries in a re. Batteries may explode or leak.

WARNING : Do not dispose of batteries in a re. Batteries may explode or leak.

Many universal remote controls have a “learning” feature. We recommend you use that feature to program the

remote control.

For any questions or problems related to programming a universal remote control, you must contact the

customer service department of the universal remote control manufacturer for assistance, or refer to the
instructions included with the universal remote control. We cannot oer assistance in programming universal
remote controls.

CONNECTING HDMI

HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for

use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes and other digital AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the
technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in
one specication. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI­compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced or high-denition video plus standard to multi-channel

surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
