the System, the connected TV compatible with HDMI
CEC automatically turns on.
• This function is available only when the source is set
to “DVD/CD” or “USB1”.
• You can activate or deactivate this function (see page
58).
• For details about the CEC function, refer to the
operations manuals of the connected CEC devices.
• The CEC function may not work with some CEC
devices.
• The CEC function may not work depending on the
settings or status of the System or the connected
CEC devices.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control
decreases, replace both batteries.
Caution:
Be careful your children do not put the batteries into
their mouth.

When using the remote control
Point the top of the remote control towards the remote
sensor as directly as possible. If you operate it from a
diagonal position, the operating range (approx. 5 m)
may be shorter.

Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Connections (see pages 4 to 7)
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord.
Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of
the System, connecting cords, and the power cord.
These could cause poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance
as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of
the System.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid
color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed
properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay
attention to the following when installing the
speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off
the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before
installing the speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on
the TV’s main power switch again.
– Some TVs may still be affected even though
you have followed the above instructions. If this
happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• You cannot connect a computer to the USB
terminals of the System.
• You cannot connect JVC Everio camcorder to the
USB terminals of the System.

Learning More about This System
Connections (see pages 4 to 7)
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord.
Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of
the System, connecting cords, and the power cord.
These could cause poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance
as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid
color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed
properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay
attention to the following when installing the
speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off
the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before
installing the speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on
the TV’s main power switch again.
– Some TVs may still be affected even though
you have followed the above instructions. If this
happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive
