NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and re-
ceiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

Bluetooth one touch connection via NFC
About NFC technology
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a set of standards for
devices (smartphones/tablets) to establish radio communi-
cation with each other by touching/tapping them together or
bringing them into close proximity.
Bluetooth connectivity.
This audio system supports NFC-enabled device with
Android 4.1, Jelly Bean and higher.
For device with a lower Android version, refer the
operation manual of the device for recommended app
(application).
Unlike other wireless technology, NFC requires no
discovery or pairing.
Simply tap the source device to the N-Mark on remote
control or main unit to instantly enjoy seamless con-
nectivity between your smart device and the audio
system.
NFC detection area
NFC detection area location may vary depending on the
device (smartphone / tablet). Refer operation manual of
the device for detail.
