Important Battery Information
•If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.
•Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
•Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD Mode
When you want the remote to operate the Digital Media Recorder, point the remote at the Digital Media Recorder, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.
Make sure the remote is in DVD mode — press the DVD button.
Turn on the TV and Digital Media Recorder
1.If you have an RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, press the TV button on the remote and then press the INPUT button on the remote (the TV turns on and tunes to the correct Video Input Channel).
If you have another brand of TV, turn on the TV and tune the TV to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know how to access the Video Input channel on your TV, go to page 16 for help).
Note: You can program your remote to operate most brands of remote controllable TVs. Instructions are on page 19.
2. Press the DVD button on the remote control to put it in the correct mode, and turn on the Digital Media Recorder.
