VCR User Manual

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 any obstructions between them.
-Battery. Installation
The batteries supplied with your remote control are
packed separately. To install them in the band 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.
