Infra-Red Remote Controller (Cont’d)
How to Operate the Remote Controller
(Digital Scanner)
Press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button to “ON”,
• If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds
(4 minutes during setting of the clock time), the scanner
will automatically switch over to the power-saving
standby condition and the lamp will go off. (In this case, if
bar codes have already been read but not yet
transmitted to the VTR, the data will be cancelled.)
•When the lamp is not lit, press the button to turn it “ON”
again.
Tracing the Bar Codes
® Place the Remote Controller on the Small Box.
@ Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.

• “VTR 2” will appear in the Display.
When the “VTR 1 ” bar code is traced, the “VTR 2”
Indication will disappear and the remote control mode is
changed back to “VTR 1 ”.
•Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the
sheet gets dirty or scratched, the bar code reading
may become impossible.
• Protect the Remote Controller from strong shocks
and vibration. Keep it away from water and places
with high temperature and humidity.
• If the bar code is traced slowly, it cannot be read
correctly,
•When there is no “Beep” sound, the reading of the
bar code is incomplete. Trace the bar code again.
•When using the Programming Sheet, put it on flat
surface: Reading the bar codes while holding it in
your hand or bending it, may result in incorrect op­
eration.
• Do not deviate from the bar code, nor stop tracing
halfway.

Note:
•The infra-red beam should be transmitted directly at the
Infra-red Remote Control Receiver on the front of the
VTR,
• Direct sunlight may interfere with the beam,
•The lightsensing angle of the Infra-red Remote Control
Receiver in the VTR is about 30^ for each side from the
centre.
•The unit should be used within a range of about 7 meters
from the front of the VTR.
Recommendation
After the programming of timer recording(s) is completed,
press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button so that the
indications in the Display disappear, in order to save
battery power.
