Using the Remote Control
Operating the TV or the
Selected Device
The remote control operates the TV, your cable or
satellite set-top box, your DVD/VCR, your audio
receiver, and your HP Media Center PC.
To use the remote control:
1 Press the TV, DVD, STB, PVR, AUX, VCR, Audio, or
HP button to select the home entertainment device
(TV, DVD, set-top box, personal video recorder,
auxiliary, VCR, audio receiver, HP MCPC, or HP
DEC) to control.
2 For the TV, point the remote
control at the remote
control sensor on the
display. For home
entertainment devices,
program the remote
control, see “Programming
the remote control for a
home entertainment device” on page 44, and
point the remote control at the home entertainment
device’s sensor.
Installing or replacing remote
control batteries
When the batteries are low, the selected Mode button
(TV, DVD, STB, PVR, AUX, VCR, Audio, or HP) on the
remote control blinks once every 5 seconds when a
button is pushed. Insert three AAA non-rechargeable
batteries into the remote control ensuring that you
place them with the proper polarity.
1 Press and open the cover on the back of the
remote control.
2 Insert the batteries into the remote control, and
make sure that you match polarities.
3 Close the cover.
Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g.,
alkaline and carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh
ones.
Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing
the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
When not using the remote for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from
possible battery leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries that are not intended to
be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. Follow
the battery manufacturer’s directions for the batteries
you are using.
Always remove batteries as soon as they become
weak. Weak batteries can leak and severely damage
the unit. The battery life depends on how much the
remote control is used. Replace batteries when remote
control operation becomes erratic.
Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw
them into a fire.
n
Use the remote control within a distance of
16.4 feet (5 meters) from the front of the TV
remote control sensor window and at the
maximum horizontal and vertical angles of
30 degrees.
