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 cor-
rosion. 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. The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from the remote controller.
Notes
Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can pre vent 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.

Positioning speakers
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to produce the best Surround sound possible.
Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound’s source and movement. Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dis­persion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action. Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.

Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. Extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the posi­tion that will cause the least amount of distortion. If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power cords. When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
FM 75
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations below regard­ing the location. Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
ANTENNA
It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
