Using the remote control

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit.

Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s remote sensor.

When the batteries run down or you change the batteries, the remote control mode and TV preset codes are automatically reset. See Remote Control Set on page 77 and Setting up the remote to control your TV on page 90 to reset them.
