operating instructions.

≥Connect the AC power supply cord after all other connections are

complete.

[Note]

≥Do not use the wireless system and digital transmitter in a metal cabinet

or bookshelf.

≥Do not attempt to connect any extra surround speakers to the home

home theater unit.

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between

the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the

same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

e.g.

Wireless LAN: approx.

2 m (6-1/2 ft)

Cordless phone and other

Wireless

electronic devices:

system

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.

location outside the range of the wireless system, or move the wireless

system nearer to your home theater unit.
