Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in order to charge the back-up system. The memory preservation period after the unit has been unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

Installing the remote controller batteries

1 Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the tab

and lifting up the cover.

2 Insert two AA (R6- or UM-3)-size batteries into the battery

compartment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (-) symbols) inside the battery compartment.

3 After batteries are installed and seated correctly, replace the

compartment cover.

Notes:

• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.

• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote controller doesn’t operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.

• The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.

Using the remote controller

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.

Notes:

• Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.

• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.

• Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.

• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.

• If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

Connecting the amplifier and video equipment

• Do not connect the power cord until you complete all other connections.

• Connect the unit to your amplifier via the supplied audio connection cables. Be sure to insert the cable's red plugs into the Right jacks and white plugs into the Left jacks. For other connections, use the cables that came with that equipment.

• Insert the plugs and connectors completely. Remember that improper connection results in noise or malfunction.

• Do not bind the audio connection cables with the power cord and speaker cables. Doing so may degrade sound quality.

• The unit’s cover will become hot due to its built-in amplifier. Avoid placing any equipment on the unit.
