REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
The accessory Remote Control Unit is used to control the amplifier from a convenient distance.
(1) Inserting the Dry Cell Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the Remote Control Unit.
Notes on Battery Usage
• RC-176 uses the size R6P (AA) dry cell batteries.
• The batteries will need to be replaced approximately once a year.
This will depend upon how often the Remote Control Unit is used.
• If, in less than a year from the time new batteries were inserted,
the Remote Control Unit falls to operate the Amplifier from a near-
by position, it is time to replace the batteries.
(The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it
with a new battery as soon as possible.)
• Insert the batteries properly, following the polarity diagram inside
the battery compartment.
• Batteries are prone to damage and leakage. Therefore:
• Do not mix new batteries with used ones.
• Do not mix different types of batteries.
• Do not jumper opposite poles of the batteries, expose them to
heat, break them open, nor expose them to open fire.
• If the batteries have leaked, remove any traces of battery fluid
from the battery compartment wiping thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Then insert new batteries.
2. Insert two dry cell batteries as shown in the diagram on the
battery supply unit.
3. Replace the battery cover.
(2) Directions for use
• Operate the Remote Control Unit while pointing it towards the
Remote Control Sensor on the Amplifier as shown in the diagram
on the left.
• The Remote Control Unit can be used at distances up to about 8
meters in a straight line from the amplifier. This distance will
decrease if there are obstructions blocking the infra-red light
transmission or if the Remote Control Unit is not directed straight
at the amplifier.
Note on operation
• Do not press the operating buttons on the Amplifier and the Remote Control Unit at the same time. This will cause misoperation.
• Operation of the Remote Control Unit will become less effective or erratic if the infrared Remote Control Sensor on the Amplifier is exposed to
strong light or if there are obstructions between the Remote Control Unit and the sensor.
• In case you operate a VCR, TV or other components by remote control, do not operate buttons on two different remote control units at the
same time. This will cause misoperation.
Besides being able to operate the PMA-495R amplifier with this Remote Control Unit, you can also operate
a DENON cassette deck and CD player from this handy full-system Remote Control Unit.

Full-system Remote Control Unit
The full-system Remote Control Unit operates all major functions of the Amplifier, such as function switching, volume control. But that’s not
all! The same control pad can also control the major functions of a DENON CD player and cassette deck and tuner when combined with the
PMA-495R to create a remarkably ergonomic and versatile DENON system with all the quality sound reproduction that the devoted audiophile
expects.
