Concerning The Remote Control.5 - Panasonic SC-AK20 Operating Instructions Manual

Concerning the remote control
Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just pur¬
chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip¬
ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Asso¬
ciation's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out
of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or dis¬
tortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level;
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing dam¬
age or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a life¬
time.
Battery installation
Use of batteries
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types
(manganese and alkaline, etc.).
• Never subject batteries to excessive heat or flame; do not attempt
to disassemble them; and be sure they are not short-circuited.
• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dark place.
• Do not attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.
Battery life
The battery life is about one year.
The batteries should be replaced if commands from the remote
control transmitter do not operate the unit even when the
transmitter is held close to the front panel.
