Remote Control - RCA VMT670HF Owner's Manual

Remote Control
Before you use the remote control unit supplied with your
VCR, install the batteries (instructions below). Severai 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 usecl 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
3acked separately. To install them in the hand 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 compart-
ment. 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 bat-
teries are preferred. Good batteries should last a year or
more 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.
