Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn
off and unplug the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your
remote, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Before you use your remote
Inserting batteries into the
remote
Insert three R6 (size-AA) batteries with the +
and ­ properly oriented in the battery
compartment.
Tip
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for
about 3 months. When the remote no longer operates
the receiver, replace all the batteries with new ones.
Notes
· Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid
place.
· Do not use a new battery with old ones.
· Do not mix the alkaline batteries and other kinds of
batteries.
· Do not expose the remote sensor of the receiver to
direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
· If you do not use the remote for an extended period
of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible
damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
When you use the remote for the first time, be sure to
perform the AMP REGIST operation (page 6). Some
functions may not be displayed depending of the
model.
