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.
Understanding the 2 way
remote system
This remote operates under a 2 way remote
system. With the two way remote system, the
component responds to signals sent from the
remote by sending additional signals
(information about the status of the component,
text data, etc.) back to the remote. Thus,
operations are performed as a result of
communication between the remote and the
component.
on the
When using a home entertainment system
comprised of several components compatible
with the 2 way remote system, please restrict 2
way remote system operation to a single
component. Normally, turn off the 2 way
remote system on all components except the
receiver.
If you would like to turn off the receiver's
2 way remote system, set "2-way remote" using
the SET UP button (page 52).
The COMMAND MODE
If the receiver's COMMAND MODE and the
remote's COMMAND MODE do not match,
transmission is not possible between the remote
and the receiver. If you have not changed the
COMMAND MODE of the remote and the
receiver after purchase, it is not necessary to set
the COMMAND MODE. For details, see page
75.
