Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

When the power cord is connected, the STANDBY lamp above the POWER button lights up.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put the two supplied batteries in first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

1.On the back of the remote control, press down on the battery cover and slide it out.

2.Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3.Slide the cover.

R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) type dry-cell batteries.

Notes:

•A small amount of power is always consumed even in standby mode. To switch off the power completely, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

•If the power cord is unplugged (or a power failure occurs), preset settings will be erased in a few days.

CAUTIONS:

•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the receiver. When unplugging the receiver, always grasp the plug itself so as not to damage the cord.

CAUTIONS:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) to (+) and

(–) to (–).

•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
