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
1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which channel is your the
Video Input channel, go to page 54 for help).
2. Press the ON•OFF button to turn on the DVD Player.
3. The first time you turn on your DVD player, the Language menu appears.
If you want the DVD player’s 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.
