Precautions
Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out
dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough
material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

Direct-access and Left/Right buttons can be
programmed with a global function or with
functions per device. Buttons with global
functions always execute the same command,
even if device is active. Buttons with functions
per device execute commands depending on the
active device. For example, the Left button is the
Play command when the VCR is active.
Note:
Per-device functions overrule global functions.
For example, when you program the Volume
buttons globally but you assign a specific
function to them with the tuner, the specific
command will be executed when the tuner is the
active device.

7. Using the remote controller
with Radio Frequency
Warning:
To use the remote controller with radio frequency
(RF), you need an RF Receiver, which is not
included in package.
By default, the remote controller uses infrared
(IR) signals to operate devices. This means that
you have to point the remote controller’s sending
eye towards the device you are operating. IR
signals have an operating distance of 10 meters
(33 feet).
You can select to operate devices using radio
frequency (RF) signals instead of IR signals. RF
signals have an operating distance of
approximately 20 meters (66 feet) in house and ,
unlike IR signals, is able to go through obstacles
like furniture or walls. The RF signals sent out by
the remote controller are picked up by the RF
Receiver. The RF Receiver translates the RF
signals in IR signals and sends the IR signals to
the appropriate device.
Therefore, the RF Receiver has to be placed near
the device you’re operating with the RF
Receiver’s sending eye pointed to the device.
Your devices will always receive IR signals either
directly from the remote controller or from the RF
Receiver.
