IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1.Read these instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2.Keep these instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.Heed all warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow all instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6.Clean only with a damp cloth. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

7.Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades with one

wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particulary at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Remove batteries if they are dead or if the remote control will not be used for a long time.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

The buttons on the remote control work the same way as the corresponding ones on the receiver.

Important!

You have to press a source button for longer than 1 second to switch the sound source on the receiver. Pressing a source button for less than 1 second will only switch the remote control to use the commands for the selected product.

The remote control remains tuned to the selected source until another source button on the remote control is pressed. This enables you to operate additional sources (i. e. winding a tape) without changing the source on the receiver.

REMOTE CONTROL

Programming the universal remote control

You can identify the universal remote control by the inscription Multibrand/Universal.

The universal remote control must be programmed to use the codes for your appliances of different brands. This is done by keying in a 4-digit code or by scanning the codes until the correct one is found. We recommend to using the 4-digit code. This method is faster and more reliable. The code scanning method should be used only if you cannot find the code for one of your appliances. The codes are listed at the end of this book.

Important!

Use the remote control buttons for programming, not the buttons of the receiver or other appliances.

Programming with the 4-digit code

1Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2pressed for 3 seconds.

2Key in the 4-digit code for the appliance (codetable at the end of the booklet).

Notes: – If more than 4 digits are entered, the remote control will recognize only the ones keyed in first.

If you do not key in a code within 30 seconds the remote control will switch off the programming function without changing the code.

To program a new appliance, simply overwrite the old code by entering a new one.

Scanning the codetable

1Switch on the appliance which should be controlled.

2Keep the source button for the appliance which should be controlled and2pressed for 3 seconds.

3Press and release 2again.

yThe remote control sends the codes for channel up or standby (depending on the selected source) for one brand after the other.

4As soon as the appliance reacts – switches to the next channel or to standby – press 2to confirm the code. yThe identified code will be used.

If the set does not react within 2 minutes, the code for this appliance is not stored in the remote control. The code of the remote control will remain unchanged.

Note: When taking out the batteries of the remote control for more than 1 minute the codes must be reprogrammed.

Once you have found and tested the codes for your various appliances, you may want to write them down here.
