About the supplied remote control

Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this amplifier has several

operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/video components. In

order to effectively use the remote control, it is important to read the operating instructions and obtain

a proper understanding of the remote control and how to switch its operation modes (etc.).

Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the operation

modes may result in incorrect operations.
