Battery
Installation
1 Open the cover.
Press
the
lever
and
move
the
cover
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow.
2 Insert the batteries.
Use
four
manganese
batteries
[RO3
(UM-4)
“AAA”
1.5 Vj].
Be
sure
that
the
batteries
are
inserted
so
that
their
positive
(+)
and
negative
(—)
polarities
match
the
polarities
indicated
in
the
compartment.
Batteries
instal-
led
incorrectly
may
leak
and
cause
damage.
Refer
to
“Use
of
Batteries"
on
page
4
for
additional
information.

HSIIONS
Use of Batteries
Use manganese batteries in this unit.
We recommend the use of alkaline batteries if the remote
control is used very frequently.
Do
not
mix
old
and
new
batteries,
or
batteries
of
different
types
(carbon
and
manganese,
etc.).
Always
remove
old,
weak
or
worn-out
batteries
promptly
and
dispose
of
them
properly.
The battery life is about 6 months.
Although
the
battery
life
varies
depending
on
how
often
the
device
is
used,
the
batteries
should
be
replaced
about
once
every
6
months
on
the
average.
Because
a
fairly
large
power
is
required
in
order
to
enter
other
remote-control
signals
into
the
memory
of
this
unit,
note
that
the
batteries
will
weaken
faster
if
such
memory
entries
are
made
often.
The
batteries
should
be
replaced
if
commands
from
the
remote
control
transmitter
do
not
operate
the
unit
even
when
the
transmitter
is
held
close
to
the
front
panel,
or
when
the
display
becomes
dim
during
operation.
Since
this
unit
retains
the
memory
of
the
“learning”
keys
for
about
one
hour
from
the
time
the
batteries
are
removed,
when
replacement
is
necessary,
be
sure
to
have
the
new
batteries
ready
at
hand
before
removing
the
old
batteries.
If
the
memorized
codes
are
erased
by
not
replacing
the
batteries
quickly,
reprogram
this
unit
again.
The
original
SH-R500
pre-programmed
remote-control
codes
are
not
erased.
Never
subject
batteries
to
excessive
heat
or
flame;
do
not
attempt
to
disassemble
them;
and
be
sure
they
are
not
short-circuited.
if
a
battery
leaks,
remove
all
batteries
and
dispose
of
them
properly.
Thoroughly
clean
the
battery
compartment
before
inserting
new
batteries.
if
the
electrolyte
comes
into
contact
with
skin
or
clothes,
flush
with
water
immediately.
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Do
not
use
rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium)
type
batteries.

Operation Notes
Aim the remote control's transmission window toward the unit's
sensor. Avoid any obstacles.
Use the remote control within a 60 degree angle and within 6
meters (20 ft.) from the unit.
lf the receiving unit is placed in an
audio rack, the distance that the
remote-control transmitter can be
used from might be reduced due
to the thickness or color of the
glass door.
6 meters
(20 ft.)
Be
sure
the
transmission
window
and
the
unit’s
sensor
are
free
from
dust.
Excessive
dust
might
prevent
reception.
Avoid dust
The
operation
may
not
be
correct
if
direct
sunlight
or
other
strong
light
source
strikes
the
remote
control
signal
sensor
part
of
this
unit.
If
there
is
a
problem,
place
the
unit
away
from
the
light
source.
The
audio
control
panel
of
the
remote
control
may
be
covered
by
a
clear
plastic
protective
sheet.
This
sheet
may
be
removed
if
desired.
