REMOTE CONTROL (5425 only)
A wireless remote control is provided with the 5425,
enabling you to operate playback tunctions from the
comfort of your chair or from virtually anywhere in the
room.

sight path from the remote control to the front olthe CD
player.

commands, it may be that this line -of -sight path is
obstructed by clothing , paper, or furnish ings.
