Getting Started

This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the
power supply.

Checking the Supplied Accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are
supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces
supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied batteries
first.
1 2
R6(SUM-3)/
AA(15F)
1. Press and slide the battery cover on the back of
the remote control.
2. Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3. Replace the cover.
If the remote control cannot transmit signals or operate the receiver
correctly, replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type
dry-cell batteries.
Notes:
• Supplied batteries are for the initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers' codes again
(see pages from 42 to 44).
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

remove the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
