Remote control

The remote control doesn’t work

• To control your DVD recorder, you must first press the DVD key of the remote control.

• Point the remote control at the front of your DVD recorder, not at your TV set.

•The operating range of the remote control is 6 to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the batteries wear down.This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries.When the batteries require replacing, the signal lamp on the remote control flashes when you use it.

•Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the remote control and your DVD recorder.They may block the beam and thereby cause a malfunction of your DVD recorder.

•The recorder is in copy mode. COPYING appears on the display.

The remote control of your DVD recorder also controls another device

•Some DVD players made by the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba, Telefunken) react to the same codes.To avoid this inconvenience, you can program your DVD recorder and its remote control so they have a different code to those of the other devices. Refer to page 75.

The remote control and the DVD recorder don’t work anymore: everything seems blocked

• Unplug your DVD recorder from the mains for a few moments and plug it back in.

Image problems

You don’t see any picture

•Turn on your TV set and your DVD recorder.

•On your TV set, select the socket which receives the signals from your DVD recorder (AV1,TV1,AUX1, etc., depending on the make, if connected as shown on page 4).

•Make sure that all sockets are well pushed into the various sockets.
