batteries by matching the

and

ends on

the batteries to the markings inside the
battery compartment. When using the
remote, point it at the remote sensor

on the

recorder.

Notes

• If the supplied remote interferes your other Sony

DVD recorder or player, change the command
mode number for this recorder (page 18).

• Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible

leakage and corrosion. Should leakage occur, do
not touch the liquid with bare hands. Observe the
following:
– Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or

batteries of different manufacturers.

– Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
– If you do not intend to use the remote for an

extended period of time, remove the batteries.

– If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid

inside the battery compartment, and insert new
batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor (marked

the front panel) to strong light, such as direct
sunlight or a lighting apparatus. The recorder may
not respond to the remote.

You can adjust the remote’s signal to control
your TV.
