For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your remote (STR-DE545 and STR-SE501 only).

zWhen to replace batteries

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about 6 months. When the remote no longer operates the receiver, replace all batteries with new ones.

Notes

•Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

•Do not use a new battery with an old one.

•Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

•If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Before you get started

•Turn off the power to all components before making any connections.

•Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.

•Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

•When connecting an audio/video cord, be sure to match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on the components: yellow (video) to yellow; white (left, audio) to white; and red (right, audio) to red.
