"Troubleshooting Guide" in this owner’s manual, the laser
optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult your dealer or an

IR Signal Check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use
a digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in

(including built-in cell phone cameras):
Point the Digital Camera towards the
remote control infrared diode at the front
of the remote control. Press any button on
the remote control and look through the
camera display. If the infrared pulsating
light appears through the camera, the
remote control is sending out an IR signal.
