CONTROLLING YOUR TV WITH THE CAMCORDER'S REMOTE CONTROL (Only for VM-
3800A)
The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions, but it will not
work with every one made. If your TV does not respond the way it should when you
program it as explained below, this remote may be incapable of operating it. Once you
have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change the
battery.
This remote control can be used with your TV as well as the camcorder, as long as your
TV comes with a remote control. This feature comes in handy - you don't have to juggle
two remotes.
The remote control is compatible with the fourteen makers of TVs listed below - but
don't be alarmed if yours is not on our list. You may still be able to program the remote
for your TV.
Every TV that comes with a remote control is set up to detect certain infrared signals.
You need to program the camcorder remote control to send signals that your TV will
recognize and respond to. Here's what to do:

Programming the Remote Control

Turn the television on (any channel is okay).
Aim the camcorder's remote control at your TV set. Hold down the CH( ) button
while you press the button corresponding to your brand of television as shown in the
chart.
For example, if you have an RCA television, press CH( ) and display at the same time.
If this button combination sends a signal that matches with your TV, the channel will
change on the TV, and you'll know the remote is set to control the television.
If that button combination does not change the TV channel, go through the whole list
of button combination one by one until you find one that does change your TV channel.
Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the buttons. One of them may
work for you. If the TV still doesn't change after going through all the button
combinations listed, it is likely that you will not be able to program this remote control for
your TV.
