Insert two “AAA” (R03) batteries according to
the + and - signs in the battery compartment.
To use the remote control, point it directly at
your receiver.
Install batteries as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door by
applying thumb pressure on battery door and
then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Insert 2 AAA batteries in the compartment
and replace the compartment door.
Set up and Maintenance of the
Receiver
Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as
indicated:
• Do not connect to the AC power cords until
all connections are completed.
• Do not use your set immediately after
transferring it from a cold place to a warm
place: there is risk of condensation.
• Do not expose your set to water and
excessively high temperatures.
• After having disconnected your set, clean the
case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp
leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.
Protect your Components from
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any
component. Arrange the components so that
air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of
each other.
• Do not place the unit near other components
that generate heat such as heating vents.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing
your components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the
stand so heated air rising from it will not
affect other components. If you have a
satellite receiver, you should place it on the
top shelf.
