The remote control requires special consideration during operation to ensure optimal performance. Pay particular attention to the bulleted items below and to other precautions that appear

throughout this user guide. The bulleted items that begin below 2-15are not applicable when the Nº 320S is using the rear panel ir

input connector.

DO eliminate obstructions between the remote control IR transmitter and the front panel display IR receiver.

DO position the remote control within ±45˚ of a line that is perpendicular to the front panel display IR receiver. At more severe angles, attempt to “bounce” the remote control signal off a wall or another surface so the signal is received at the IR receiver at a reasonable angle.

DO position the remote control within 17 feet (5m) of the front panel display IR receiver. If the Nº 320S is placed inside a glass cabinet, tinted glass will reduce the remote control range.

DO replace the remote control batteries as needed. Refer to Remote Control Batteries (page 1-6) for additional information.

DO NOT obstruct the front panel display IR receiver.

DO NOT expose the front panel display IR receiver to strong sunlight, halogen light, or fluorescent light. This can cause IR reception to become unreliable.
