Preparing and Using the Remote

If the on-screen display does not appear even after the batteries have been inserted into the remote (see page 14), reinsert the batteries and place the remote on a flat surface for about 10 seconds.

Hints on handling the remote

A slight wrist movement is all you need to direct the pointer. (See previous illustration.)

Hold the remote with its “click” button facing up, as shown below. If the click button is oriented diagonally, the pointer will not move in the same direction that you move the remote.

The pointer will not move if you move the remote along a flat plane as shown below.

The on-screen display disappears automatically after a few seconds when you place the remote on a flat surface.

To make the on-screen display disappear faster, position the pointer in the blank area, hold down the click button to vanish the display, then place the remote on a flat surface and release the click button. To recall the on-screen display, pick up the remote.

Notes

The position of the pointer freezes when you hold down the click button.

If the pointer begins drifting on the screen even while the remote is stationary, place the remote on a flat surface until the on-screen display disappears. The pointer should behave normally the next time you use the remote.

If your hand is very dry, the on-screen display may not appear when you touch the click button. In this case, press the click button.

Caution

Since the remote contains delicate circuitry and parts, do not subject it to sudden changes in temperatures or to shock.

How to Use the Remote: STR-DE805G

The supplied remote lets you perform almost all of the receiver operations. Operation is simple, press the direction control button on the remote once to recall the on-screen display, then press the corner of the direction control pad representing the direction you want to move the pointer (hand shaped icon) on the on-screen display. Position the pointer so that the finger tip is positioned on one of the on-screen items, then press and quickly release the center of the direction control button to “click” the item.
