About This Manual
• The following icon is used in this manual:
V Indicates hints and tips for making the task easier.
Before You Use the Commander
Understanding the 2 way remote system
This commander operates under a 2 way remote system.
With the 2 way remote system, the component responds
to signals sent from the commander by sending additional
signals (information about the status of the component,
text data, etc.) back to the commander. Thus, operations
are performed as a result of communication between the
commander and the component.
Commander
When using a home entertainment system comprised of
several components compatible with the 2 way remote
system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a
single component. Generally, the 2 way remote system is
turned off on all components except for the receiver.
If you would like to turn off the receiver's 2 way remote
system, refer to "Setting up the 2 way remote" in the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.

•Ü
fii
Note
The commander receives and displays data transmitted from the
receiver. Communication errors may occur if the commander's
transmitter/receiver section is not directed properly toward the
receiver's display.
Be sure to point the commander's transmitter/receiver section
towards the receiver's display.
How to remove the lithium battery
Notes
• Disc titles and song titles downloaded from the CD changer are
memorized in the commander. The lithium battery is used for
preservation of this memory^. If the unit is used with an
exhausted battery, the settings memorized in the commander
will be erased. Please replace the battery as soon as the message
appears.
• Replace the alkaline batteries with new batteries as soon as
their charge is exhausted. If the unit is used with exhausted
batteries, exhaustion of the lithium battery used to maintain
memory will be quickened and the memorized settings may be
erased.
• The life span of batteries may be shortened depending on the
conditions in which the commander is used.
• If the alkaline batteries and lithium battery become exhausted
at the same time, replace the alkaline batteries first. Replacing
the lithium battery first will erase the data memorized in the
commander.
• When replacing the alkaline batteries, always replace all 4
batteries with new ones.
• After replacing batteries, be sure to carry out touch panel
adjustment (page 6).
