Notes · Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries. · To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time. · Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, replace both batteries at the same time. · The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage. Notes · Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller. · Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference. · Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation. · If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate. 12 System Connections To accommodate a wide range of home entertainment systems, this player features numerous connection types for both audio and video.
