					Parts Description 4   
					This remote operates under a 2 way remote system. With   
					the two way remote system, the component responds to   
					signals sent from the remote by sending additional signals   
					(information about the status of the component, text data,   
					etc.) back to the remote. Thus, operations are performed   
					as a result of communication between the remote and the   
					component.

					Component   
					When using a home entertainment system comprised of   
					several components compatible with the 2 way remote   
					system, please restrict 2 way remote system operation to a   
					single component. Normally, turn off the 2 way remote   
					system on all components except the receiver.   
					If you would like to turn off the receiver’s 2 way remote   
					system, see “Setting up the 2 way remote” in the   
					operating instructions supplied with the receiver.

					Setting up the remote   
					At the time of shipping, the remote has not been   
					customized to your receiver yet. Before you use the   
					remote for the first time, do the procedure below to set   
					up the remote so that it can control your receiver   
					properly.   
					1 Press 1/u on the receiver to turn it on.   
					2 Point the remote towards the receiver and press   
					SOUND FIELD, FUNCTION, or SUB.   
					and   
					appear in the display window of the   
					remote while it communicates with the receiver and   
					identifies the receiver model.   
					When the communication ends, the remote is   
					customized and provides the operation lists that   
					match your receiver.
