Getting started
Before Installation
General precautions
• Be sure your hands are dry.
• Turn the power off to all components.
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture and dust.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C and 35˚C.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
• Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.
Handling the receiver
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
• Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.
Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1
Press and slide the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2
Insert batteries.
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
• Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.
