Remote Control
Before
you
use
the
remote
control
unit
supplied
with
your
VCR,
install
the
batteries
(instructions
below).
Several
of
the
remote’s
buttons
do
the
same
things
as
buttons with the same names on the front of your VCR,
and you can use whichever one is more convenient at the
moment.
The
remote
control
has
additional
buttons
for
controlling
some
of
the
VCR’s
Special
Effects
and
Features,
and
it
is
also
used
for
setting
the
clock
and
programming the timer.
Since
the
remote
control
operates
the
VCR
by
infrared
light,
it
is
immune
to
electrical
and
sound
interference.
However,
you
must
aim
the
remote
unit
directly
at
the
VCR. There cannot be anv obstructions between them.
[ Battery Installation------------------------------------------------
The
batteries
supplied
with
your
remote
control
are
packed separately. To install them in the hand unit:
1.
Turn the hand unit over and remove the cover of
the battery compartment.
2.
Insert the batteries so that their positive ( + )
ends
contact
the
positive
terminals
in
the
battery
compartment.
These
are
marked
(+)
in
the
bottom of the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Replace
the
batteries
when
your
VCR
fails
to
respond
to
the
remote
control.
Replacement
batteries
are
widely
available.
Use
size
“AA”
1.5
volt
cells.
Alkaline
type
batteries
are
preferred.
Good
batteries
should last about a year in normal service.
Avoid
laying
the
remote
control
upside
down
or
placing
things
on
top
of
it.
This
could
depress
the
buttons
and
discharge
the
batteries.
If
you
are
not
going to use the hand unit for a month or more, it is
wise to remove the batteries to avoid leakage.
