GETTING STARTED
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
• Point the remote control at the remote sensor located on the unit.
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared remote sensor may be degraded,
causing unreliable operation.
• The recommended eective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).
TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Open the battery door. 2. Insert 2 “AAA” batteries.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the batteries become weak, the operating distance of the remote control is greatly reduced and you will
need to replace the batteries.
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
NOTES
• If the remote control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by
battery leakage corrosion.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKELCADMIUM) batteries.
• Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak.
• Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control.
• WARNING : Do not dispose of batteries in a re. Batteries may explode or leak.
WARNING : Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.
Many universal remote controls have a “learning” feature. We recommend you use that feature to program the
remote control.
For any questions or problems related to programming a universal remote control, you must contact the
customer service department of the universal remote control manufacturer for assistance, or refer to the
instructions included with the universal remote control. We cannot oer assistance in programming universal
remote controls.

CONNECTING A HIGH-DEFINITION (HD) SOURCE USING HDMI CONNECTION
HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes and other digital AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the
technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in
one specication. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant or HDMIcompliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced or high-denition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and HighDefinition Multimedia Interface are trademarks
or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

Digital Television Transition Notice:
This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a
suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States on February 17, 2009.
Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air
digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV
stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games).
For more information, please see www.DTV.gov or call our number below. For information on the TV Converter
program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of
one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.
