Precautions

On safety

• Unplug the AC power adapter from the AC outlet

when it will not be used for a long period of time. To
disconnect the AC power adapter, pull it out by the
plug.  Never pull the cord itself.

• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified

personnel only.

• Be sure that nothing metallic comes into contact with

the metal parts of the AC power adapter.  If it does, a
short circuit may occur and the unit may be
damaged.

Operation

– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Vibrating

• Do not apply mechanical shock or drop the units.
• The units become warm during the use, but this does

not indicate a malfunction.

• Avoid exposing any part of the receiver ’s light

receiver to strong rays such as direct sunlight or
inverter fluorescent lamp rays or to another infrared
ray source such as a remote commander.

• Do not place any obstructions between the

transmitter and receiver, or the visual and sound will
disappear.

• Do not use this system with another infrared ray

transmitter such as cordless headphones or two pairs
of this system at the same time.
The signals may become mixed.

On cleaning and care

• Clean the units with a soft cloth slightly moistened

with water or mild detergent solution.

• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the

units, as they may mar the finish.

The diagrams illustrate the approximate area covered
by the infrared rays. Position the transmitter and the
receiver within the area so that the units operate
effectively.

Notes

• Select the input of the receiver with the input selector on

the TV.

• If the angle of the transmitter or receiver is adjusted past

the movable range as illustrated, it can cause a
malfunction.

• Do not cover the light emitter or receiver of the

transmitter or the receiver with your hand, etc.

• The infrared rays will not penetrate walls or opaque

glass. Therefore, the infrared receiver must be used
within the “in sight” area of the transmitter.

• The brightness of the transmitter ’s light emitter is not

necessarily stabilized. This is not a malfunction and does
not affect the infrared coverage distance.

• Noise and beats appears when the transmitter and the

receiver are positioned too close.
