cellular phone):
Direct a digital camera to remote control,
press and hold a button on remote control. If
infrared light appears through digital camera,
the remote control is working.

refer to the relevant sections and to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in this owner’s manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or

remove a cassette, so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV program reception is clear. Dirt accumulated
on the video heads after a long period of use, or the
