Caution

For the best surround sound, setup your speakers as above.  
The front left and right speakers should be about 1.8–2.7 m apart.

Using the remote control

The remote control  can be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote sensor on the front panel, and within a 
30 degree angle. 

Precautions:

•   The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote 
control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle.
•   The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the 
unit’s remote sensor.
•   The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote 
controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to 
work improperly.
•   When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

       Remote control battery caution

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.  

Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
•   Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the positive 

ª

 and negative 

·

 polarities, as 

shown by the display inside the compartment.
•   Never mix new and used batteries.
•   Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand.  Do not mix different brands of batteries. 
•   When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction's rules 
that apply in your country or area.
•   In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one 
month or more).  If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries 
with new ones.
•   Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing 
faster exhaustion of the batteries. 

 

      Additional notes on connecting antennas

•   Keep antenna cables away from other cables and the display unit and main set.
•   To assure optimum reception, pull the FM antenna so that it is fully extended and not coiled or hanging at the rear of the unit.
•   If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see the 

Other Connections

 section in the main operating instructions for 

details on connecting outdoor antennas.

      Additional notes on speaker placement

Place speakers as shown in step 4 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect
•   Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
•   For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level.
•   This system's speakers are magnetically shielded, so there's virtually no picture color distortion when they are placed near 
a TV. In the rare event that there is some picture color interference, switch power to the TV off, and wait 15 to 30 minutes 
before switching on again.
•   Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
•   When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. 
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or 
damaging the speaker. 
•   Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

      Additional notes on wireless speaker placement

•  Depending on your room characteristics, there will be places where you will achieve better reception from the transmitter.  
If you are experiencing bad reception, try moving the speaker slightly. If the problem persists, try locating the best frequency 
channel with the two units quite close together, then moving them further away once you have switched to 

AUTO OFF

.

       AC adaptor and power cord caution

•   Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or 
electrocution.
•   Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adaptor when removing it from the power outlet.  If you pull the power cord, it 
may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.
•   Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adaptor with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.
•   Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the way into the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete, heat may be 
generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adaptor may result in 
electrocution.
•   Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the 
way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding 
replacement of the power outlet. 

Important notes and safety precautions

Placing the wireless speaker

For best surround sound, make sure to place the wireless speaker directly behind the center of the listening position and no 
higher than ear level. Also, make sure you don't move the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position or you will lose 
much of the surround sound effect. 
For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 59 (XV-DV515) to 
increase the surround channel levels.
