Getting ready01

Caring for the remote

• Do not drop the remote.

• Do not get the remote wet.

• Do not use or store the remote in the following locations:

In direct sunlight

Near hot objects

Areas with high humidity

• Do not mix new and used batteries. Only add all new batteries.

• Do not mix battery brands. Different bat tery brands may have different voltages even if the same size.

• When not planning to use the remote for a long period of time (over one month), remove the batteries to prevent battery ﬂuid leaks inside the remote. If a battery leak occurs inside the remote, discard the old batteries, wipe out the liquid from the case, and add new bat teries.

• The Pioneer batteries supplied with the remote do not contain heavy metals, such as mercury, nickel, or cadmium. In many countries, however, the disposal of batteries with household waste is not allowed. Be sure to comply with local regulations when disposing of batteries.

• The remote’s TV preset code setting

will only last for about one minute without batteries, so to prevent the inconvenience of losing the stored settings, have ready a fresh set of new batteries and add them immedi ately after removing the old batteries. However, if the remote’s buttons are pressed while the batteries are removed, the brand code setting will be deleted. Please be careful not to press the buttons while replacing the batteries.

Remote operation range

• If an object is blocking the path between the remote and the DTR signal sen-

sor the unit might not respond to the remote commands. If this happens, remove the obstacle or change your position.

• As the batteries weaken, the range of the remote becomes shorter. If the operation range is too short for your preference, replace the batteries.
