■ Battery replacement
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used
closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both
batteries with new ones.
Within approximately
6 m (19.7 feet)
Notes
•
•
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
Notes
•
•
Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not
be used for an extended period of time.
• There should be no large obstacles between the remote
control transmitter and the main unit.
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.
• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.),
it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct
lighting.

Notes
• Not all discs have index numbers. The index system has a
method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (for
example, the movements within classical symphonies) for
easier location of those parts. The liner notes with the disc
usually tell if such index numbers are included.
• If an index number is selected that is higher than any index
number on that disc, play will start from the last index
number point on the disc.
• For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual
designated index point.

the start of the selected track.
