Connections and Setup

Using Your Remote Control

Use your remote control from a distance of about 7m/23 feet from the
monitor’s remote control sensor and at a horizontal angle of within 30

°

. The

remote operates on line of sight, so if there is anything blocking the path
between the remote and the remote control sensor on the front of the
monitor, the remote may not work.

• Don’t expose the remote control sensor on the front of the monitor to

direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Don’t get the remote control wet.

• Avoid heat and humidity.

• When not using the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries.

Programming the Remote

The universal remote control that came with your monitor is already
programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and PROSCAN VCRs, DVD players,
laserdisc players, and satellite receivers. This remote is also capable of
operating many other brands of remote-controllable electronic components,
but you must program it to do so.

Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote

To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed, turn on
one of your components, such as a VCR. Point the remote control at the
component and press the component button (for example, the VCR button).
Now press the ON•OFF button on the remote. If the component doesn’t turn
off, you need to program the remote control in order for it to operate that
component.
