When the Remote Doesn't Work Right
Check out these possibilities:
Low Battery
If the remote is not working even at close range, try putting in two fresh AA batteries.
Objects in the Way
There may be objects between the remote and the VCR - for instance, a stack of
books on the coffee table, your 2-year-old, the dog. Hold the remote so that it points
at the VCR with nothing in the way.
Set to Wrong Device
It may be set to VCR2 when you're trying to control VCR1. To confirm that this is the
case, try setting VCR/CATV/TV switch to VCR and a function button (like channel up
or down). If the remote does not work now, you know that it's set to VCR2. To reset it
to VCR1, refer to the on-screen Initial Setup options.
If You Just Want to Watch TV
For normal TV viewing, you do not need to disconnect the VCR. When the TV and
VCR are already on, press POWER on the remote control. The VCR will shut off, but
the TV will stay on.
If you are recording on the VCR but want to watch a different channel on the TV, press
the VCR/TV button to switch back and forth between the TV channel and the recording
channel.
