Make sure the batteries have been properly installed, then close the battery compartment cover. Notes: Do not mix different types together, or old batteries with new batteries. While the remote controller will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. To prevent corrosion resulting in damage, remove exhausted batteries immediately. Where the remote controller doesn't appear to operate normally, replace both of the batteries. Typical life for the batteries provided with this product is about 6 months. The life expectance may vary according to the use status.
Use of the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote sensor on your DVD home theater center. Upon receipt of the signal from the remote controller, the equipment will operate accordingly. The description in this Manual is based on the buttons on the equipment. You may use the counterparts on the remote controller to do the same. Notes: Do not place this equipment in a place exposed to direct sunlight or strong light source like inverting fluorescent light, or else it may interfere with correct operation of the remote controller. When other similar remote controller is used in the same room, or when this product is used near other equipment using infrared ray, interference with the operation of this remote controller may occur. Do not place any object on the remote controller, or else it may cause unintentional depression of the buttons and waste the batteries unnecessarily. The front of the chassis should not be glazed with color glass, or else it may cause interference with normal operation of the remote controller. Any barrier between the remote controller and remote sensor will inactivate any operation of the remote controller. The operating range between the remote controller and the equipment shall be no more than 5 meters (16 inches). When the operating range becomes shorter, replace the batteries with new ones.
