USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control buttons have identical functions to the similarly
marked buttons on the main system.  In addition, the remote control has a
MUTE button and a PRESET button.

MUTE lets you temporarily switch off the sound.  Press MUTE once to turn
off the sound; press MUTE again to restore the sound.

PRESET lets you recall any one of the preset stations stored in the tuner
memory.

Point the remote control toward the INFRARED REMOTE sensor on the front
panel of the main system.  There should be a clear path between the
transmitter and the sensor.  The remote control works up to a distance of
6 meters and within a 30 degree angle from left to right.

Weak batteries or direct sunlight on the INFRARED REMOTE sensor might
reduce the operating range of the remote control.

Caution:  If you are not going to use the remote control for an extended
          period of time, remove its batteries.  Weak batteries can leak
          damaging chemicals.
