Radio Shack STAV-3780 owner manual Using One Remote Control for More than One Unit

Preparing Your Receiver

Using One Remote Control for More than One Unit

If you also have an Optimus professional series CD player, VCR, or cas- sette deck with the OSR mark (), you can connect its CONTROL IN jack to the receiver so you can control all of your equipment with a single remote control. You can also use the other component’s remote control by pointing it at the receiver’s front panel.

Note: When you plug the cable into a component’s CONTROL IN jack, that com- ponent’s remote sensor does not func- tion.

CONTROL

1. Connect each component to the receiver as shown in “Connecting

Program Sources” on Page 9.

Note: You must connect the audio cables between the receiver and

the other audio accessory to use your receiver’s remote control to

control the accessory.

Installing the

Remote Control’s Batteries

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

Note: If the remote’s range is reduced, replace the batteries.

Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for power. For the best operation and longest life, we recommend alkaline batter- ies, available at your local RadioShack store.

1.Press and slide open the battery compartment cover.

2.Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked in the compartment.

3.Replace the battery compartment cover.
