Before you use the remote control unit supplied with

sour ViSR, install the batteries (instructions below). Several of the remote's buttons do the same things as buttons with the same names on the top of your VCR, and you can use whichever one is more convenient at the

moment.

The remote control has additional buttons for

controlling some of the VCR's special features, and it 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 control directly at

the VCR. There cannot be any obstructions between them.
