Notes

•The remote commander is initially set to control this unit. However, if it doesn’t control the unit, press VHS TUNER first. If the remote commander still doesn’t operate, read “Controlling VCRs” on page 47 first.

•With normal use, the batteries should last about three to six months.

•If you do not use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

•Do not use a new battery with an old one.

•Do not use different types of batteries.
