Introduction
Understanding How the Receiver W orks: STR-DE905G
Before you can use the remote to control the receiv er, vou must connect the remote control (RC) antenna as shown
below.
Steel beams within walls and other metallic objects may interfere with signal reception by the RC antenna. To
prevent this, keep the RC antenna at least 20 inches (about 50 cm) away from all metallic objects.
Since this receiver uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.
Video signal (Input from source
On-screen operation
1
The remote commander emits a constant radio frequencv (RF) signal that conveys any movement of the remote
commander to the receiver via the RC antenna (© above).
2
This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (® above).
3
When vou move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the button on the remote, the infrared (IR) repeater
* transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective program source (® above).
If the screen flickers or the pointer does not move
The RF sij^nnl from the remote is being obstructed and is not reaching the RC antenna ((D above). Reposition the RC antenna or
bring the remote commander closer to the RC antenna.
If the program source fails to respond or is slow to respond
The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fuliv reaching the infrared receptor on the program source. Connect the extra IR
repeater (supplied) and positicm it tacing the program source (see "IR Repeater Hookups" on page *^).
If si'ime of tlie programmed on-screen controls are unresponsiv e or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see
"Registering non-Sonv Audio/\'ideo equipment" im page W).
