the speakers (page 14).
Noise can be heard.
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio perfor-
mance, so don’t bundle them together.

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the A-9355/A-9155 and that there’s no obstruction
between the remote controller and the A-9355/A-9155’s remote control sensor (page 5).
