Getting Started
Loading batteries
Open the cover at the back of the remote
control unit, as pictured on the right. Insert two
AAA size batteries following the polarity (+ / -)
markings. Slide the cover back into position.
Precautions when using batteries
• CAUTION: Danger of explosion! Ensure to insert batteries according to the
polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
• Replace all batteries at the same time with fresh batteries of the same size
and type. Clean the battery and device contacts prior to installation.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of battery (alkaline,
carbon-zinc or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different
capacities. Mixing different types of battery could cause leakage or rupture.
• Note that there are chargeable and nonchargeable batteries. Do not
attempt to charge nonchargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not in use for a long time to avoid
leakage. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic parts.
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly, observing any local hazardous
waste regulations. Do not burn or bury them.
• Keep batteries away from children. If you suspect a battery may have been
swallowed, seek immediate medical assistance.
Using the remote control
• When using the remote control, aim it within
a 30º window at the remote control sensor, as
illustrated on the right. Make sure there are no
large obstacles between the remote control and
the unit.
• Do not drop the remote control unit; do not
subject it to physical shocks.
• The remote control may display erratic operation
or interference when it is exposed to bright
sunlight, lightning or fluorescent lighting. In such a case, move the unit
away from the cause of the interference.
• Keep the remote control dry. Wetting it may cause malfunction.
• Replace the batteries when remote control operation deteriorates.
• Do not use other remote equipment when operating this remote control.

Connecting the speakers
• Each speaker connection on the HTE-400 comprises a positive (+) and
negative (-) terminal. Make sure to match these up with the terminals on
the speakers themselves.
• Each speaker cable has two wires, and one of these will have a marking
to differentiate it from the other. Make sure to match the marking on the
wire with the positive (+) or negative (-) terminal on the HTE-400 and the
speakers.
1. Twist the exposed wire strands together.
2. Loosen the terminal at the back of the HTE-400 and insert the exposed wire.
3. Tighten the terminal.

1. Connect one end of the RCA sub-woofer cable (not included) to the "PRE
OUT" socket of the HTE-400.

Connecting your TV and playback devices
Connecting to an HDTV
NOTE:
• The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital video as well as
almost every kind of digital audio.
• Most HDTVs are able to receive multichannel audio through an HDMI
connection. However, if you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the
A/V Receiver, you need to make a separate audio connection.
• The Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature in HDMI 1.4 specification enables
a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio to an A/V Receiver thus
eliminating the need for any separate audio connection.
• In order to utilise the ARC feature, your TV must support ARC. Typically,
ARC compatible HDMI ports are labelled as ‘HDMI (ARC)’.
