•The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle.

•The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the unit’s remote sensor.

•The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to work improperly.

•When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

Remote control battery caution

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.

Always be sure to follow these guidelines:

• Always insert batteries into the battery compartment

correctly matching the positive ª and negative ·

polarities, as shown by the display inside the

compartment.

• Never mix new and used batteries.

• Batteries of the same size may have different voltages,

depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of

batteries.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with

the unit.

• If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see the

Other Connections section in the main operating

instructions for details on connecting outdoor antennas.

Additional notes on speaker placement

If your listening room is of adequate size, place the speakers as shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect. If you are listening in a fairly small room and a typical surround speaker setup is not possible, see Home Theater sound setup of the instruction manual and the speaker setup guide for information on the Front Surround speaker setup option.

When using the standard speaker setup as shown in step 3, please observe the following guidelines:

•Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

•For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level.

•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

Precautions:

• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be

sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.

Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to

external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those

nearby or damaging the speaker.

• In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the

batteries when not using the remote control for an

extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs,

carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the

compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones.

• Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of

the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed,

causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other

amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

• The front, center and surround speakers supplied

with this system are magnetically shielded. However,

placing them extremely close to a television may

result in color distortion on the screen. If this

happens, move the speakers a little further away and

switch off the television for 15-30 minutes.

• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so

should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

• Since it is not magnetically shielded, do not place
