If you cannot play back a disc which bears one of the marks above, check the following notes.

*1: Certain DVD discs do not operate as described in this manual due to the intentions of the disc’s producers.
*2: Scratched or stained discs may not be played back.
*3: Some discs cannot be played back because of incompatible recording conditions, characteristics of the

recorder or special properties of discs.

play them back. Even if they are played back, the sound or video quality will be compromised.

one oriented correctly.

3. Close the cover.

Cautions On Batteries

• Use “AA” (R6P) batteries in this remote control unit.

• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately once
a year, though this depends on the frequency with which
the remote control unit is used.

• If the remote control unit does not operate within a close
proximity of the main unit, replace the batteries with new
ones, even if less than a year has passed.

• The included batteries serve only for verifying operation.
Replace them with new batteries as soon as possible.

• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the
proper direction, following the and marks in the
remote control unit’s battery
compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not mix a new battery with an old one.

• Do not mix two different types of batteries such as
alkaline and manganese.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.

• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the
remote control unit for a long period of time.

• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid
from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert
new batteries.

Using a Remote Control

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote
control and the remote sensor on the unit.

• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or
fluorescent light is shining on the remote sensor of the unit.

• Remote control for different devices can interfere with each
other. Avoid using remote control for other equipment locat­ed close to the unit.

• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the oper­ating range of the remote control.

• The maximum operable ranges from the unit are as follows.

-

Line of sight: approx. 23 feet (7m)

-

Either side of the center: approx. 16 feet (5m) within 30˚
Above: approx. 16 feet (5m) within 15˚

-
