Note:

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such
as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:

• Do not mix new and old batteries together.

• Do not use different kinds of battery together,

although they may look similer, different batteries
may have different voltages.

• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each
battery match the indications in the battery com­partment.

• Remove batteries from equipment that is not
going to be used for a month or more.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public instruction's rules that apply in your country
or area.

• Do not recharge, short-circuit, heat, burn or disas­semble 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
DVD recorder.

• Use within the operating range and angle as

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

• Remote controllers for different devices can inter­fere with each other. Avoid using remotes for
other equipment located close to the DVD
recorder.

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

• When the batteries run down or you change the
