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.
