TV remote control operation may be difficult if the unit
hides the sensor of your TV when beneath or under the
TV. Try the two solutions below and see whether this
solves the problem.
1Move the unit in all directions.
2Remove the stands to lower the height of
the unit.
Keep the stands and screws in a safe place for future use.
If you cannot solve the problem by the suggestions above,
follow the procedure below and use the TV remote

TV remote control signal received at the front of the unit
to the remote control sensor of your TV through the IR
flasher at the rear of the unit.
1Set the unit to standby mode.
2Press both the VOLUME + button and
button of the main unit, release the

• You can verify the current setting by turning the
unit on again from standby mode.
• Move the unit in all directions again if TV remote control
remains difficult.
• The TV remote control signal transmission function is
enabled even if the unit is in standby mode.
You can use the TV remote control solely to operate by
having the unit learn the TV remote control operations.
You can operate the following functions by TV remote
control.
• Volume down
