About the supplied remote control
Compared to standard remote controls, the remote control supplied with this receiver has
several operation modes. These modes enable the remote control to control other audio/
video components. In order to effectively use the remote control, it is important to read
the operating instructions and obtain a proper understanding of the remote control and
how to switch its operation modes (etc.).
Using the remote control without completely understanding its design and how to switch the
operation modes may result in incorrect operations.
