Troubleshooting Remote Control:
Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the remote control at
the IR receiver in the front panel.
If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.
Steps:
1. Go to Menu > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the mouse.
