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.
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, see "Setting up the 2 way remote" in the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
