Preparing Your Receiver

Using One Remote Control for More than One Unit

If you also have an Optimus professional series CD player, VCR, or cas- sette deck with the OSR mark (), you can connect its CONTROL IN jack to the receiver so you can control all of your equipment with a single remote control. You can also use the other component’s remote control by pointing it at the receiver’s front panel.

Note: When you plug the cable into a component’s CONTROL IN jack, that com- ponent’s remote sensor does not func- tion.

CONTROL

1. Connect each component to the receiver as shown in “Connecting

Program Sources” on Page 9.

Installing the

Remote Control’s Batteries

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

Note: If the remote’s range is reduced, replace the batteries.

Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for power. For the best operation and longest life, we recommend alkaline batter- ies, available at your local RadioShack store.

1.Press and slide open the battery compartment cover.

2.Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked in the compartment.

3.Replace the battery compartment cover.
