Install Batteries in the Remote

2.Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram inside the remote’s battery compartment.

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/VCR Mode

When you want the remote to operate the DVD/VCR, point the remote at the DVD/VCR, 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/VCR mode—press the DVD/VCR button.

Turn on the TV and DVD/VCR

1.Turn on the DVD/VCR—press the DVD/VCR button on the remote.

2.Turn on the TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel—if you have an RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, press the TV button on the remote (if the TV doesn’t turn on, press the ON•OFF button) and then press the INPUT button on the remote until you get to the Video Input Channel that matches how the DVD/VCR is connected to the TV. If you used coaxial cable to connect to your TV, tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.

You’ll know you are on the right Video Input Channel when you see the DVD/VCR menu for the language selection (see below).

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 19 for help).

Note: You can program your remote to operate most brands of remote controllable TVs. Instructions are on page 22.
