• Operate the remote control at a distance of no more than 20 feet.
• Remove any obstacIes between the remote and the DVD Recorder or other component. If your DVD Recorder is in an entertainment
cabinet, the glass doors might obstruct the remote control from operating the DVD Recorde{_ Open the doors.
Can't program the remote
• The universal remote control that came with your DVD Recorder is already programmed to operate most RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs and
satellite receivers.You can program it to operate many other brands and models of TVs, cable boxes, and digital satellite receivers. However;
the remote doesn't support all brands and a_l models of TVs, satellite receivers, and cable boxes so there is a possibility the remote can't be
progl_mmed to operate your component. Instructions for programming the remote control are on page 2[.
Lost the remote control
• To order a new remote control, go to page _9.The buttons on the front of the DVD Recorder operate the DVD Recorder's basic functions,
but you won't be able to use the menu system without the remote control.The buttons on the fl'ont of the unit are described On page {7.
Also, if you have another RCA, GE, or Proscan brand product with a remote control that has a DVD button, some of the buttons will probably
operate this product if you press the DVD button first.
MP3 FILES
The following recommendations can't be taken as a guarantee that the DVD Recorder will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound
quality. Certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-R discs prevent optima{ playback of these files on your product.
• Make sure the file is a true MP3 file.You can only play true MP3 files in the DVD Recorder -- some products use software to compress MP3
files and convert them to other formats such as MPX.Your DVD Recorder won't recognize or plag MPX files or other types of converted
MP3 files.
• When naming MP3 files, don't exceed t 2 characters, and enter .rap3 as the file extension.When using a general name format oETitIe.mp3,
make sure the titIe is 8 characters or less, don't use spaces, and don't use special characters (such as, =. +,/, %, &, etc.).
• Whatever the reaI recording capacity of the CD-R, don't use more than 630MB of recording space On the disc.
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobits/second) when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically
depends on the rate of compression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to
MP3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. Howeve_ choosing higher rates like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better
sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec won't be played.
Can't get to DVD Recorder's main menu
• Press the STOP button until the main menu appears or press the left arrow button to return to the previous menu. If that doesn't work,
remove the MP3 disc from the disc tray,
Can't make the Info Display appear
