0 and O marks correctly as illustrated.
. Do not mix old batteries with new ones or different
types of batteries.
. Do not throw the batteries into a fire, apply heat to
them or take them apart.
. Do not carry the batteries with keys or other metallic
objects.
The remote control can control the CATV converters for the

Some manufacturers have more than one code number.
If the remote control does not operate with the CATV
after setting the code number, try another number.
POWER, CHANNEL /VVand the number buttons
on the remote control are activated.
● Due to the variety of codes used by manufacturers, AlWA
cannot guarantee that the MBR remote control will operate
with every model of the brands listed.
● The number buttons can be used only for channel selection,
but they may not function correctly with some CATV
converters.
● The remote control may not operate when there is any
obstruction between the remote control and the REMOTE
SENSOR.
● Strong ambient light sources such as a fluorescent lamp or
direct sunlight may cause unreliable operation.
● Using a TV with the same type of infrared remote control
facing the same direction may cause incorrect operation.
. The maximum distance for effective control between the
remote control and the REMOTE SENSOR is 7 meters.
● Although you can use the remote control within an angle of
up to 30 degrees in any direction from directly in front of the
REMOTE SENSOR, we recommend a narrower angle for
stable operation.

CAPTION CH1
● After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
● If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break
in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is
received again.
● When selecting closed captions, the captioning might be
delayed momentarily.
● If the channels are changed, the captions might be delayed
momentarily.
“ If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the
closed caption decoder text may not appear. Inthis case,
adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor
antenna.
oWhen activating the closed captioned decoder, there will be
a short delay before the closed captioned text appears on
the screen.
. The captions will appear in places on the screen where they
will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of
the screen. News programs will usually show three-line
closed captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other
shows provide two c)rthree lined captions placed near the
character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the
dialogue.
● If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but
the television will remain in the caption mode.
. Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear
during closed captioning. This is normal with closed
captioning, entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editina.
oWhen caption; are being displayed, on-screen displays,
such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere
with closed captions.
,
Some cable systems and copy protection systems may
interfere with the closed captioned signal.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign
languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung
usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions,
look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
