Connections and Setup
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries
with the diagram on the remote.
3. 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 fire, 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
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote
at the DVD Player, 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.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player
