Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Install Batteries in the Remote

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.

Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the remote.

Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

Important Battery Information

• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time,

if disposed of in fi re, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD Recorder Mode

When you want the remote to operate the DVD recorder, point the remote at the DVD recorder, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and
toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the
remote control and the component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.

Make sure the remote is in DVD mode—press the DVD button.

Turn on the TV and DVD Recorder

Turn on the DVD recorder—press the DVD button on the remote.

Turn on the TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel—if you have an RCA, GE, or Proscan TV, press the TV button on the remote (if the TV doesn’t turn

on, press the ON•OFF button) and then press the INPUT button on the remote until you get to the Video Input Channel that matches how the DVD recorder is
connected to the TV.

If you have another brand of TV, turn on the TV and tune the TV to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know how to access the Video Input Channel on
your TV, go to page 18 for help).

Note: You can program your remote to operate most brands of remote controllable TVs. Instructions are on page 21.

Complete the Interactive Setup

The next few pages step you through the series of screens that will appear the fi rst time you turn on
your DVD recorder.

Use the remote control to follow the on-screen instructions. The arrow buttons move the on-screen
highlight in the corresponding directions on the screen (up, down, left, right).

Press the OK button to select a highlighted item.

Notes:

You can access the setup screens from the main menu. If you move, get a different program
provider for TV shows, or change your connections, you’ll need to complete the Interactive
Setup again.

If you don’t see the Language selection screen (below) the fi rst time you turn on the DVD
recorder, make sure you’ve tuned your TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to the
way you’ve connected the TV to the DVD recorder. If you need help, go to page 18.

1) Select on-screen menu language

Make sure the remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button). If you want the on-screen menus
to appear in

English

, press the OK button on the remote control. If you prefer another language,

press the arrow down button until that language is highlighted. Press OK to select the language.
Next, the connection screen appears.

Note: If you don’t see the Language selection screen the fi rst time you turn on the DVD
recorder, make sure you’ve tuned your TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to the
way you’ve connected the TV to the DVD recorder. If you need help, go to page 18.
