Operating range of the remote control unit
Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor when operating it. The remote control unit can be used from a distance of approximately 23 feet/7 meters, at a horizontal angle of up to 30 with respect to the sensor.

Inserting the batteries

q Remove the remote control units rear cover. w Set two R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction. Approx. 23 feet/7 m
e Put the rear cover back on. Notes on batteries: Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated nearby the unit. (The attached batteries are only for verifying operation.) When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the < and > marks in the battery compartment. To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid: Do not use a new battery together with an old one. Do not use two different types of batteries. Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames. Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be in use for long periods. If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries. When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and insert them as quickly as possible.
NOTE: It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

Additional Information

About the speakers Surround back speakers
Sound position directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

[2] Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect. The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a three-dimensional sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES is a new surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems. A sound image and sense of positioning can be achieved by adding a surround back (SB) channel to the conventional 5.1-channels. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1: This is the latest format, in which all 6.1-channels, including the SB channel, are recorded independently. Since the different channels are independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1: With this format, the SB channel is matrix-encoded and inserted into the SL and SR channels, then decoded for the SL, SR and SB channels upon playback. This achieves a surround sound more faithful to the artists sound design intentions than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.
[3] Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels. There are three modes: Music suited for playing music, Cinema suited for playing movies, and Game which is optimum for playing games.

Neural Surround

Neural Surround, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring the excitement of surround music to more of Americas listening audience. It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With superior spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural Surround draws the brains attention to sonic details in musical instruments, vocals, and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before. As the chosen format for XM Satellite Radios new XM HD surround programming, Neural Surround will help deliver more surround music to more listeners than any other broadcast format. XM Satellite Radio will be the first radio company -to broadcast surround sound on the radio 24 hours a day and will offer three channels fully dedicated to Neural Surround music.
