This receiver is supplied including:
– a remote control
– 2 batteries for the remote control, size AA
– a coaxial cable for audio connection with a DVD player

If you have stacked the components of your system, the
receiver must be on top. Place the receiver on a flat,
hard, stabile surface. Do not cover any vents and leave
50 cm (20 inches) above and 10 cm (4 inches) to the left
and right of the receiver clear for ventilation.
For good reception the loop antenna should not be placed on
top of or beneath VCRs, CD recorders, DVD players, TVs and
other radiation sources.
All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have
tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three single
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and
polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if
disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials,
dead batteries and old equipment.
