the Sony SUM-3(NS) batteries.
When the batteries become exhausted, the commander does not
operate. In this case, replace both batteries with new ones.
When the commander is not to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage
and corrosion.
To control the FH-215R system
Point the head of the commander towards the REMOTE SENSOR
of this system.
To control a CD player
Connect the CONTROL S OUT jack of the FH-215R system to the
CONTROL S IN jack of the CD player, using the 4-pin CD player
connecting cord supplied with this system.
