Installation

The unit can be installed on a TV stand or mounted on a wall (p.9).
It is equipped with remote control sensors positioned to support installation on a TV stand or mounting on a wall.

Installing the unit on a TV stand, etc.

Position the unit so that the keys are on the far side of the unit.

About the TV remote repeater

The unit receives signals from the TV’s remote control via the remote control sensor 
located on the front panel.  It then transmits these signals from the TV remote repeater 
located on the rear panel.

HINT

• This function is available only when the TV’s remote control uses infrared signals. 
• The TV’s remote control can be used even when the unit is turned off as long as the unit’s power cable is 

plugged into an AC wall outlet.

Cautions

• Do not stack the unit and a BD player or other device directly on each other. Doing so may cause a 

malfunction due to vibrations.

• Do not hold the speaker portion (fabric parts) on the front and the top of the unit.
• The unit contains non-magnetic shielding speakers. Do not place magnetically sensitive items (hard 

disk drive, etc.) near the unit.

• Depending on your installation environment, it may be better to connect the unit and external devices 

before installing the unit.

Caution

Position the unit more than 5 cm (2 in) away from the TV to ensure proper transmission of signals from 
the remote control to the remote control sensor on the TV.
