Preventing Interference Between Multiple Remotes (STR-DE905G only)

If you use two or more receivers at the same time, interference may occur between the RF signals, causing the units to operate erratically. You can prevent this by giving all units a unique security number which distinguishes the signal of each unit from the others. Follow the procedure below to assign a security number to each unit.

1

Turn off the power to the unit.

2

Turn on the unit again while simultaneously

 

holding down the PHONO, CD, and TUNER

 

buttons on the front panel. “SECURITY No.”

 

appears in the display. Enter a number from 0 to

 

15 by pressing PHONO, CD or TUNER on the

 

front panel. Make sure that the number is

 

different from the security code of the other units.

After a few seconds, “SECURITY OK!” appears,
