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 perform on screen operations and 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.
