"Troubleshooting Guide" in this user manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an
Authorized Service Center for inspection and cleaning of

IR Signal Check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use
an AM radio or digital camera (including a cellular phone
with built-in camera) to see if it is sending out an infrared
signal.
With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a non-
broadcasting frequency. Point the
remote control towards it, press any
button and listen. If the sound from
the radio flutters, it is receiving the
remote control’s infrared signal.

With a digital camera
(including built-in cell phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the remote
control. Press any button on the remote
control and look through the digital
camera. If the infrared light appears
through the camera, the remote control is
working.
