Plug the recorder and TV power cords into an AC outlet. After you connect the power cord, you must wait for a short while before operating the recorder. You can operate the recorder only after the front panel display lights up and the recorder enters standby mode.
If you connect additional equipment to this recorder (page 27), be sure to connect the power cord only after all connections are complete.
You can control the recorder using the supplied remote.
Insert two size AA (R6) batteries by matching the
3and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the battery compartment. Be sure to close the battery cover properly. When using the
remote, point it at the remote sensor 
on the recorder.
