Before Using the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E

Setting the Voltage Selector (Worldwide model only)

The Worldwide model has a voltage selector for compatibil- ity with power systems around the world. Before you plug in this model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area. If it isn’t, use a small screw- driver to set it as appropriate. For example, if the voltage in your area is 120 volts (V), set the selector to “120V.” And if it’s between 220 and 230 volts (V), set it to “220–230V.”

•If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

•Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to pre- vent possible leakage and corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the TX-SR501/ TX-SR501E’s remote control sensor, as shown below. The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s STANDBY indicator flashes while a signal is being received from the remote controller.

Installing the Batteries

1 Open the battery compartment, as shown.

2

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6) in

 

accordance with the polarity diagram inside

the battery compartment.

3

Close the battery compartment.

Notes:

•The supplied batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

•If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing both batteries.

•Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of bat- teries.

Notes:

•The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

•If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote con- troller may not work reliably.

•Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote control- ler, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

•The remote controller may not work reliably if the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is installed in a rack behind col- ored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

•The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s remote con- trol sensor.
