Tip

With normal use, the batteries should last for about
six months. When the remote no longer operates the
system, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes on batteries

• Make sure the battery poles (plus/minus) are
properly oriented.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

• If you do not use the remote for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible
damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

• Do not use a battery that is leaking.

• If a battery has leaked, clean the battery
compartment and replace all the batteries.

• Do not place the remote in an extremely hot or
humid place.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight
or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.

The preset stations are saved in the system’s memory
for about a day even if you disconnect the power cord
or a power failure occurs.

To change the AM tuning
interval (not applicable on the
European and Middle Eastern
models)

The AM tuning interval is factory-preset to 9 kHz (or
10 kHz on North American model). To switch the
AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first, then
turn off the system. Pressing TUNER + on the unit
down, turn the system back on. When you change the
interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To
change back to the original interval, repeat the same
procedure for CMT-CP2W. For CMT-CP2WA, tune
in any AM station first, then turn off the system.
Pressing TUNER – down, turn the system back on.
