Belore you use the remote control unit supplied with your VCR, install the batteries (instructions below). Most of the remote's buttons do the same things as the buttons with the same names on the front of your VCR, and you can use whichever one is more convenient at the moment. The remote control is also used for setting the clock and programming the timer.
Since the remote control operates the VCR by infrared light, it is immune to electrical and sound interference. However, you must aim the remote unit directly at the VCR. There cannot be any obstructions between them.
Battery Installation
The batteries supplied with your remote control are 3acked separately. To install them in the hand unit:
1.Turn the hand unit over and remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2.Insert the batteries so that their positive (+) ends contact the positive terminals in the battery compart- ment. These are marked (+) in the bottom of the compartment.
3, Replace the cover.

Replace the batteries when your VCR tails to respond to the remote control. Replacement batteries are widely available. Use size "AA" 1.5 volt cells. Alkaline type bat- teries are preferred. Good batteries should last a year or more in normal service.
Avoid laying the remote control upside down or placing things on top of it, This could depress the buttons and discharge the batteries. If you are not going to use the hand unit for a month or more, it is wise to remove the batteries to avoid leakage.
