Cordless phone and other
electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

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 (“ [W1] ” or an indicator)
flashes on the home theater 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 unit.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another
location outside the range of the wireless system, or move the wireless
system nearer to your home theater unit.
