1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Safety Instructions
DO NOT INSTALL YOUR RECEIVER:
-In a closed or poorly ventilated cabinet; directly on top of or under any other equipment; on a
surface which might obstruct the ventilation slots.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE RECEIVER OR ITS ACCESSORIES:
-To direct sunlight or any other equipment that generates heat; to rain or intense moisture; to
intense vibration and to any shock which may cause permanent damage to your receiver or
to any magnetic objects, such as loudspeakers, transformers, etc.
-Do not use a damaged power cord. It may cause a re or an electric shock. Do not touch a
power cord with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
-When the receiver is not used for a long period of time, you should unplug the power cord
from the wall socket.
-Do not use alcohol or ammonia based liquids to clean the receiver. If you wish, you may clean
your receiver with a soft lint-free cloth slightly made damp with a mild soap solution, and only
after disconnecting from the mains voltage supply. Make sure no foreign objects fall through
the ventilation slots because this could cause re or an electric shock.
-Do not place any objects on top of the receiver because this might prevent proper cooling of
the components inside.
Safety Precautions
-Never try to open the receiver. It is dangerous to touch the inside of the receiver due to high
voltages and possible electrical hazards. Opening the receiver will void the warranty of the
product. Refer all maintenance or servicing to suitably qualied personnel.
-When you are connecting cables, be sure that the receiver is disconnected from the mains
supply voltage. Wait a few seconds after switching o the receiver before you move the
receiver or disconnect any equipment.
-It is a necessity that you only use an approved extension and compatible wiring that is
suitable for the electrical power consumption of the installed equipment. Please ensure that
the electrical power supply corresponds with the voltage on the electrical identication plate
at the back of the receiver.
If the receiver does not operate normally even after strictly following the instructions in this user
manual, it is recommended to consult your dealer.
1.2 Storage
Your receiver and its accessories are stored and delivered in a packaging designed to protect
against mechanical shocks and moisture. When unpacking it, make sure that all the parts are
included and keep the packaging away from children. When transporting the receiver from
one place to another or if you are returning it under warranty conditions, make sure to repack
the receiver in its original packaging with its accessories. Failing to comply with such packaging
procedures could damage the product and void your warranty.

WARNING: The batteries should not be recharged, disassembled, electrically
short-circuited, be mixed or used with other types of batteries.
If rechargeable accumulators instead of batteries are going to
be used (e.g. NiMH), we recommend using types with low self-
discharge to ensure long time operation of your remote control.
1.5 Usage of external USB devices
-It is recommended to use USB 2.0 storage devices or higher. If your device is not compatible
to USB 2.0 specications, recording, playback and other multimedia functions of the receiver
might not work properly.

codec, data bit rate and resolution used (all MPEG codec formats are supported).
-It is advised not to store important information on USB storage devices used with the receiver.
-Always make backups of data on your USB storage device before using it with this receiver.
