Using Receiver The Remote Control unit transmits an infrared signal in addition to an RF signal. When operation by means of the RF signal is not possible because of the radio wave conditions, aim the Remote Control unit towards the receiver and use it as an infrared remote control. For operation of other identified devices or with an external IR receiver, aim the Remote Control unit towards the respective unit and use it as an infrared remote control. Do not block the remote control IR transmitter on the Receiver or the transceiver part of the Remote Control unit. A momentary error is possible when the signal is interrupted even momentarily during transmission and reception (for example by a person passing through the beam). In such a case, the most recent information will be displayed when CONFIRM/SHIFT button on the Remote Control unit is pressed. Sometime it may be necessary to reenter the interrupted command again. Chapter Two: Controlling the Receiver Remote Control unit provided with the receiver is a bi-directional Remote Control unit, which enables remote control while checking the information shown on the LCD display. The operations of connected devices can also be controlled from Remote Control unit. Before first time using the receiver or after having changed or added the connected devices, please be sure to read the separate booklet entitled "Connection and Setup Guide". The present manual describes the operation procedures in normal use. This chapter is composed of the following sections.
