[. . . ] To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the processor and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the processor. Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. [. . . ] Hold down the SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button whose function you want to change (VIDEO 2, for example). Now you can use the VIDEO 2 button to control a 8mm VTR. For example, if you want to programme a CD player's remote, press CD. press LEARN to turn on the LEARN indicator. Press the button on this unit's remote that is to "learn" the signal from the other remote. Be sure to use only the shadded buttons shown above (see "Remote Button Descriptions" on page 18 for the buttons you can use to operate each component). The RM-PE300 remote included with the SDP-E300 can control non-Sony components by "learning" the control signals from their remotes. Once this remote learns the other components signals, you can use these components as part of your system. Additionally, if you have any Sony components that fail to operate with this remote, use this programming function. This remote can "learn" signals only from other infrared wireless remotes. Before you programme signals, make sure that the two remotes: · Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below) · Are placed at a distance of about 2 inches (5 cm) · Are not moved during programming If the LEARN indicator flashes rapidly You cannot use the button you've pressed. On the other remote, select the function that the processor's remote is to "learn" and hold down its button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to programme other buttons. Note that each button can only "learn" one signal from another remote. After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can control the other component with the programmed buttons. While holding down the r button on the processor's remote and press the record button on the other remote. This processor makes it easy to record to and from the components connected to the processor. You don't have to connect playback and recording components directly: once you select a programme source on the processor, you can record and edit as you normally would using the controls on each component. Before you begin, make sure you've connected all components properly. If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the batteries are weak. If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as described in "Clearing the programmed signal" below and programme again from the beginning. [. . . ] To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic, you should have at least one pair of rear speakers and/or one centre speaker. You also need to select the appropriate centre mode to enjoy a full effect. The test tone is output from the front L (left), centre, front R (right), and rear speakers in succession. Select WIDE mode if you have front and rear speakers and a large centre speaker. [. . . ]
