Two AA size

Helpful Hint:

For frequent remote control users,
replace old battery with Alkaline
batteries for longer life.

Note: In order to maximize the life of
the batteries, the lighted buttons on
the Remote Control can be turned
OFF and ON by pressing R-TUNE
and RECALL at the same time.

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will
damage the remote control transmitter.

Observe the following precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new
batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn
used batteries.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when remote control acts
sporadically or stops operating this unit.

Helpful Hint:

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need to reset the remote control infrared codes. We recommend
that you record the code on page 54 – 57, prior to setting up the remote.

Notes:

(1) Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 15.5 to 110 kHz and vertical

scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz. (However, signals exceeding 1200 lines will not be displayed properly.)

(2) The display resolution is a maximum of 640 × 480 dots when the aspect mode is set to “NORMAL”, and 852 × 480

dots when the aspect mode is set to “FULL”. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be

possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
(3) Some PC models cannot be connected to the set.
(4) An adapter is required to use the PC cable (D-sub 15P) to connect a Macintosh computer to the set.
(5) There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible D-sub 15P terminal.
(6) The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
(7) Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied with this set.
(8) Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified

frequency range.
