Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batter- ies because they can leak and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regula- tions.
•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incor- rectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
•Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
When you want the remote to operate the HD DVD Player, point the remote at the HD DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the compo- nent. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate so the signal isn’t blocked.
