The amplifier and Reference 300mkIII series connected by
remote control cords can be operated by the provided remote
control unit.
When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the
REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the A-H300mkIII.
<
Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective
range, remote control operation may be impossible if there
are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.
