Operating range of remote control unit

The area in which you can use the remote control to operate the VSX-53TX is fairly large. To use, point the remote control toward the remote sensor on the front panel of this unit while within the range shown below.

Remote control may not function properly if:

•There are obstacles between the remote control and the remote sensor.

•Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the

remote sensor.

• The receiver is located near a device emitting infrared rays.

• Operated simultaneously with another remote control which uses infrared rays.

Installing the Receiver

CAUTION!

•Do not cover this unit in any way, for example with a sheet or piece of cloth. This would prevent proper heat dispersal.

•Do not any place object directly on top of this unit. This also would prevent proper heat dispersal.

•Be sure to leave adequate ventilation space around the amp! When installing in a rack, shelf, etc., be sure to leave more than 8 inches of space above the receiver.
