Operating Your Remote Control

Installing the Batteries

1To remove the back cover, press the ridged area gently, then
push the cover in the direction of the arrow and lift.
2Load the batteries, making sure the polarities (+) and (–) are
correct. This is marked inside the battery compartment.

the TV.

Operating the VCR with the Remote Control

The HS-U449 has two VCR remote control operational settings:
VCR-A and VCR-B. The HS-U449 is pre-set to VCR-A setting.
See page 43 for information about VCR operational setting.
1Set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to VCR
position. This “tells” the remote that you want to control the
VCR.
Loading a Tape
Tapes can be loaded into your VCR as long as the VCR is plugged
in. Even when the VCR POWER is off, loading a tape will
automatically turn the VCR on. Use only tapes that have a
label.
1Hold the tape so that the long narrow edge with the contents
label faces you. The other edge is hinged and should face the
VCR. The plastic window that shows the videotape should
face up.
2Gently insert the tape evenly into the cassette slot until the
VCR automatically takes it in.
If the VCR will not automatically take the tape in, press EJECT and
try again.
Your VCR will eject the tape if it is loaded improperly. If the VCR
ejects the tape; remove the tape, check to see that the contents
label is facing you, that the geared tape reels are facing down, wait
a few seconds, and try again.
Playing a Tape
1Press PLAY on the front panel or the remote control.
The VCR will automatically play the tape at the correct speed.
When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it will automatically
rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.
You can stop playing by pressing STOP.
