REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET

The universal remote control shown below enables functions from this and related units to be operated from a convenient distance.

Equivalent buttons on the remote control have the same functions as those on the front panel of the unit. Other functions are only available by remote control.

As the handset uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the front edge must be pointed directly towards the receiver window at the front of the player, without visual obstruction between them. To maintain best response of the remote control, is strongly recommended that the main unit be situated such that the IR lense (see P.7) receives minimal interference from direct sunlight, fluorescent lighting or other sources of infra red such as intruder alarms.

If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries – two are required, size AAA, LR03 or SUM-4.

Please dispose of used batteries in accordance to local regulations.
