After changing remote control’s RF frequency, you also must change the receiver’s RF recep- tion frequency.

3. To change the receiver’s RF reception frequency.

Press and hold the RF BAND button (TAPE2/CD2 /MONITOR button) behind the receiver's front panel door for more than 2 seconds. Each time you do this, the RF reception frequen- cy switches between RF Band 1 and RF Band 2. Select the same band as the position num- ber of the remote’s RF switch.

Remote Controllable Range

Your LCD remote transmits RF signals to the receiver, and the receiver sends IR signals back to the remote.

The remote’s range is about 20 ft provided there are no obstacles (see illustration to right).

The remote transmits an infrared signal in addition to an RF signal. When RF operation is not possi- ble because of radio wave condi- tions, you can aim the remote towards the receiver and use it as a conventional infrared remote control.

Since the LCD remote uses infrared signals to control other A/V components and devices, aim it towards the respective unit.

The following factors can maximize the performance of your LCD remote:

1.Position the receiver’s RF antenna to achieve maximum RF range.

2.Do not position the receiver near metal (such as heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.
