This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
Caution regarding placement
To maintain proper ventilation, be sure to leave a space around the unit (from the largest
outer dimensions including projections)
equal to, or greater than, shown below.
Left and right panels: 5 cm

CAUTION
: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
WARNING
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a
standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal
household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and
be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the
equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed
and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the
effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

8. CONNECTING SPEAKERS
•Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according
to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+ and -). If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is
incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
•For installing the speakers, refer to “Speaker placement”
on page 23.
•After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker
settings according to your environment and speaker
layout.(For details, refer to “Adjusting the speaker settings”
on page 23.)
Caution :
•Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms
or above.
•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any
metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
the speakers.

•Use the remote control unit within a range of
about 7 meters (23 feet) and angles of up to 30
degrees aiming at the remote sensor.
OPERATING COMPONENTS WITH REMOTE CONTROL
•Remove the batteries when they are not used for a
long time.
•Do not use the rechargeable batteries(Ni-Cd type).
•Be sure to use alkaline batteries.
Remove the cover. Load two batteries(“AAA”size) matching
the polarity.
1Enter the setup code for each component
other than this receiver you wish to
control. For details, refer to “Entering a
setup code”on page 15.
2Turn on the component you want to
operate.
3Press the DEVICE button on the remote
control corresponding to the component
you wish to operate.
4Aim the remote control at the REMOTE
SENSOR of the component you wish to
control and press the button corresponding
to the operation you want.
•When operating a Sherwood CD player or tape deck
using digi link system remote control, aim the remote
control at the REMOTE SENSOR of this receiver.
However, to operate a Sherwood DVD player, aim at
the REMOTE SENSOR of the corresponding
component.
•When the remote control does not operate, the old batteries should be replaced. In this case, load new batteries within several
minutes after removing old batteries.
•If the batteries are removed or have been exhausted for a longer period of time, memorized contents will be cleared. Should
this happen, you should memorize them again.

USING FUNCTIONS OF REMOTE CONTROL
Entering a setup code
•This remote control can control up to 8 different components.
•Before operating audio and video components other than this receiver with using this remote control, the setup code for each
component should be entered.
•For system remote control operation, “000”was stored previously in the memory of the device button “CD”for Sherwood CD
player, “DVD”for Sherwood DVD player and “AUX”for Sherwood tape deck respectively as its factory setup code. So, you
don’t need to enter its code for each Sherwood component except in such a case that its code does not work.
Find the setup codes according to the type
and the brand name of your component,
referring to “Setup Code Table”on page 44.
2
Turn on the component you want to control
1
Enter a 3 digit code, aiming the remote control
at the remote sensor on the component.
Example) When entering “001”.
4
•The LED will flicker once.
Note:
•The AUDIO button is unavailable for the audio
components other than this receiver.
•If entering is performed successfully, the LED will
flicker twice.
•To be sure that the setup code is correct, press the
POWER(or STANDBY) button.
If your component is tuned off, the setup code is correct.
•When your component is not turned off, repeat the
above steps 2 to 4, trying each code for your component
until you find one that works.
Notes:
•If the LED did not flicker twice, then repeat the above
steps 3 to 4 and try entering the same code again.
•Manufacturers may use different setup codes for the
same product category. For that reason, it is important
that you check to see if the code you have entered
operates as many controls as possible. If only a few
functions operate, check to see if another code will
work with more buttons.
•When operating a Sherwood CD player or tape deck
using the system remote control, aim the remote
control at the REMOTE SENSOR on this receiver.
However, in case of Sherwood DVD player and MD
recorder, aim it at the REMOTE SENSOR on the
corresponding component.
Press and hold down both the ENTER
button and the DEVICE button you want
for more than 1 second.

Repeat the above steps 1 to 4 for each of
your components.

•If removing all punch-through functions is performed
successfully, the LED will flicker twice.

Using a punch-through function
This remote control may be programmed to operate
either the AUDIO volume punch-through or the TV
volume and/or TV channel punch-through in
conjunction with any of the eight components
controlled by this remote control.
For example, since this receiver will likely be used as
the sound system while watching TV, you may want to
adjust this receiver’s volume although this remote
control is set to control the TV.
•When programming this remote control for the
AUDIO volume punch-through, press and hold down
both “AUD”button and “VOLUME ▲”button for
more than 1 second.
•If programming is performed successfully, the LED
will flicker twice.
•
When you want either TV volume or TV channel
punch-through, press and hold down both “TV”
button and either “VOLUME
▲ ”or “CH/LEVEL
▲ ”button for more than 1 second.
Note :
•If you use one of AUDIO and TV volume punch-
through functions, you cannot use the other.
