VOLUME

Use this button to adjust the volume.
This button also functions as letter selection keys in “Edit
(editable)” setting. See Settings for more information.

Using the volume buttons on the remote control unit does
not itself change the volume (display), but rather moves the

knob reaches the desired (as shown on the display) position. 

DIMMER

Use this button to change the brightness of the front panel
display. Press to select one of four brightness levels for the
display and indicator lamps.

Note that the OFF setting is not memorized when the power
is turned off. When the unit is turned off with the display
OFF, and then turned on again, the display is reset to the
minimum brightness (FL Dimmer1).

<

In OFF mode, when you press a button such as VOLUME, the
illuminations turn on for about 3 seconds.

SETUP

(pages 9 to 12).

To mute the sound temporarily, press the MUTING button.
Press the MUTING button again to restore the sound.

<

While muting is engaged, “MUTING” and the name of the
selected terminal alternately blink on the display.

Use this button to change the inputs. Select the input
terminal to which the equipment to play is connected.
This button is also used for selecting settings in “Settings 1”
and “Settings 2”.
This button also functions as cursor keys in “Edit (editable)”
setting.

Remote control unit

Notes on use

<

Point the remote control unit at the amplifier’s remote sensor
within seven meters (23 feet) of the amplifier. There should
not be any obstacles between the amplifier and the remote
control unit.

<

Do not allow direct sun or other light to shine on the remote
sensor on the front of the amplifier. This may cause the
remote control unit to work incorrectly.

<

Note that other units with remote controls may operate
incorrectly because of infrared light “overspill” when you
operate this remote control unit. 

How to insert the batteries

Remove the cover of the remote control unit with a
screwdriver. After checking the polarity (

+

/

_

) of two AA

batteries, insert the batteries, replace the cover and replace
the screws.

<

Be careful not to pinch cables with in the battery case when
reattaching the cover.

Battery replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions concerning batteries

<

Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “

+

” and

negative “

_

” polarities.

<

Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.

<

Rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries can be used but
not mixed together. Refer to the precautions on their labels.

<

When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long
time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they
leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment
and replace the batteries with new ones.

<

Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old
batteries by throwing them in a fire.
