∫ Avoiding interference
To avoid possible interference, do not place the wireless system near any of the following devices.
The wireless system uses the same radio frequencies as other devices that may be present in your home.
e.g.
2.4GHz-band microwave oven
personal computer with 2.4GHz-band
wireless LAN
2.4GHz-band cordless phone
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication.
When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes on this unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming
from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your Home Theater System.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system.
