Notes:			BasicOperations Playback
• Be careful not to allow direct sunlight or bright light
from interior illumination to fall onto the camcorder’s
either Camera or VCR mode, the setting for the
photoreceptor, as this may prevent the remote
control from operating properly.
• Be sure that there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the camcorder’s photoreceptor.
• When the “REMOTE” item setting is changed in
other mode is automatically set to the same.
• The lithium cell normally lasts about one year. It can
be shorter under some operating conditions. When
the lithium cell is dead and the remote control does
not operate, replace the cell with a new one by
following the instructions on page 6.
