buttons, are the double arrow buttons pointing to a line.

• DVD remote controls can vary. On some remotes, both the PLAY and PAUSE

functions are dedicated to one button. If your DVD player’s remote uses the same button for both PLAY and PAUSE, simply press this same button at both prompts during the SET-UP procedure.

• If your DVD player’s remote control does not have all of these buttons, refer to

the two alternate methods for programming your Read With Me controller.
