Cautions regarding use of remote control

Do not expose the remote control to
shock. In addition, do not expose the
remote control to liquids, and do not
place in an area with high humidity.

Do not install or place the remote
control under direct sunlight. The
heat may cause deformation of the
unit.

The remote control may not work
properly if the remote sensor
window of the main unit is under
direct sunlight or strong lighting. In
such a case, change the angle of the
lighting or STB, or operate the
remote control closer to the remote
sensor window.

Menu navigation buttons.

ratio for your personal viewing preference. Each time
