Identifying Controls (Continued)
This TV uses a RF remote control. 
The remote control is operable when it is not facing the Display Unit or\
 Tuner Box.
As the radio waves reflect on walls or other obstacles, the remote contr\
ol is operable even there are obstacles 
between the remote control and the Tuner Box.
Transmission Range
Use the RF remote control within the range of 7 m from the TV tuner.
The range may be shortened if there are any obstacles or the surrounding\
 environment or building structure affects 
the transmission.
Interference from Other Devices
If the TV tuner is too close to another device, failures such as malfunction or\
 slow remote control response may occur 
due to the radio wave interference. 
Keep the transmitter away from the following devices as much as possible\
: 
 Wireless LAN, Microwaves, Telephones, Other electric devices
