Precautions when using
the Wireless LAN converter
(AS-WL300)
Precautions regarding
wavelength
! This wireless LAN converter is designed to
prevent other persons from eavesdropping
on the transmitted signals, but precautions
should nonetheless be taken against the
chance that other persons’ could intercept
and listen to the signals transmitted. Given
that this wireless LAN converter produces
radio wave transmissions, another person
could deliberately use a receiver to attempt to
intercept such transmissions. As a result, this
device should not be used to play important
transmissions demanding privacy.
This wireless LAN converter utilizes the 2.4 GHz
frequency band. This band is also used by a
variety of other devices as noted below. In par-
ticular, devices not often cognizant to the user
are listed in item 2.
1 Examples of common devices utilizing
the 2.4 GHz band:
! Cordless phone
! Cordless facsimile
! Microwave oven
! Wireless LAN devices (IEEE802.11b/g)
! Wireless AV device
! Wireless controllers for games
! Microwave therapeutic devices
! Bluetooth wireless technology devices
2 Other devices using 2.4 GHz:
! Shoplifting-prevention systems
! Amateur wireless radio
! Distribution control systems at factories and
warehouses
! Railway and emergency vehicle wireless
identification systems
When such devices are used simultaneously
with this wireless LAN converter, signal interfer-
ence may occur, resulting in signal dropouts.
To improve reception quality, try the following:
! Turn off the other device emitting radio
waves.
! Place the interfering device farther away
(Move both the wireless LAN converter and
RF adapter away from the interfering device).
Do not use this wireless LAN converter in the
following locations, since transmission inter-
ruption may result:
! Locations where another device using the
same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such
as a Bluetooth wireless technology device
or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity where the
magnetic field, static electricity, or radio
wave interference from another device may
occur (depending on the environment, radio
waves may not transmit effectively).
! Move the radio farther away.
! If visual noise appears on the television
screen, it is possible that this wireless LAN
converter is producing adverse influence
on the antenna input of the television, video
device, BS tuner, or CS tuner. Move this
wireless LAN converter farther away from the
antenna input of the affected device.
Usable range
! Designed for use only within private homes
(signal transmission distance may be reduced
due to room design or conditions).
In the following cases, this wireless LAN con-
verter cannot operate due to poor or erratic
radio wave transmission.
! When signal transmission is blocked by a wall
or floor constructed of ferro-concrete or metal.
! Nearby large metal furniture objects.
! In large crowds of people, or near obstructive
buildings.
! Locations where another device using the
same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such
! If the center speaker is not of the shielded
type, install it away from the TV.
! When installing the center speaker on top of
the monitor, place it facing slightly downwards
towards the listening position.
Important information
regarding the HDMI
connection
There are cases where you may not be able to
route HDMI signals through this receiver (this
depends on the HDMI-equipped component
you are connecting-check with the manufac-
turer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly
through this receiver (from your component),
please try one of the following configurations
when connecting up.
Configuration A
Use component video cables to connect the
video output of your HDMI-equipped compo-
nent to the receiver’s component video input.
The receiver can then convert the analog com-
ponent video signal to a digital HDMI signal for
transmission to the display. For this configu-
ration, use the most convenient connection
(digital is recommended) for sending audio to
the receiver. See the operating instructions for
more on audio connections.
Note
! The picture quality will change slightly during
conversion.
Configuration B
Connect your HDMI-equipped component
directly to the display using an HDMI cable.
Then use the most convenient connection
(digital is recommended) for sending audio
to the receiver. See the operating instruc-
tions for more on audio connections. Set the
display volume to minimum when using this
configuration.
Note
! If your display only has one HDMI terminal,
you can only receive HDMI video from the
connected component.
! Depending on the component, audio output
may be limited to the number of channels
available from the connected display unit (for
example audio output is reduced to 2 channels
for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).
! If you want to switch the input function, you’ll
have to switch functions on both the receiver
and your display unit.
! Since the sound is muted on the display when
using the HDMI connection, you must adjust
the volume on the display every time you
switch input functions.
Cleaning the unit
! Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off
dust and dirt.
! When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted
five or six times with water, and wrung out
well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do
not use furniture wax or cleansers.
! Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide
sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit,
since these will corrode the surface.
