Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove
the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and
local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if
inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if
disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended
to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or
other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the
DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction
and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to
communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path
between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal
isn’t blocked.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player
1. Turn on your TV and tune to the correct video input channel (see following
page).
2. Press the POWER button on the remote or the ON•OFF button on the
DVD player.
