FIRST THINGS FIRST

HI, MY NAME IS KIM …

...and I wrote this user manual along with the help of the engineers, designers and product managers. We worked hard to make sure that you have a rewarding experience using this RCA A/V receiver.

READ THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS

The first section of this owner’s manual shows you how to use your audio receiver for the first time. The next three sections tell you about using the receiver’s controls and programming the remote. Use the last sections of the manual to connect your receiver to other components and as a general reference. If you have a specific question, refer to the table of contents or the index.

PLEASE READ THE NOTES IN THE TEXT

The engineers and designers gave me some great tips about this audio/video receiver. When a tip applies to the information on a page, I included it in a note box at the bottom of the page.
