When the Remote Doesn't Work Right

Check out these possibilities:

Low Battery

If the remote is not working even at close range, try putting in two fresh AA batteries.

When replacing the batteries, remove the old batteries and press the POWER button on the remote and hold it for about 10 seconds, then insert two fresh batteries.

Objects in the Way

There may be objects between the remote and the VCR - for instance, a stack of books on the coffee table, your 2-year-old, the dog. Hold the remote so that it points at the VCR with nothing in the way.

Set to Wrong Device

It may be set to VCR2 when you're trying to control VCR1. To confirm that this is the case, try pressing VCR2 and a function button (like channel up or down). If the remote works now, you know that it'sset to VCR2. To reset it to VCR1, refer to the on-screen Initial Setup options.
