Remote control
The remote control doesnt work
To control your DVD recorder, you must first press the DVD key of the remote control.
Point the remote control at the front of your DVD recorder, not at your TV set.
The operating range of the remote control is 6 to 8 metres. It gradually decreases as the
batteries wear down.This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries.When the
batteries require replacing, the signal lamp on the remote control flashes when you use it.
Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the
remote control and your DVD recorder.They may block the beam and thereby cause a
malfunction of your DVD recorder.
The recorder is in copy mode. COPYING appears on the display.
The remote control of your DVD recorder also controls another device
Some DVD players made by the Thomson group (Thomson, Brandt, Ferguson, Saba,
Telefunken) react to the same codes.To avoid this inconvenience, you can program your
DVD recorder and its remote control so they have a different code to those of the other
devices. Refer to page 75.
The remote control and the DVD recorder dont work anymore: everything seems
blocked
Unplug your DVD recorder from the mains for a few moments and plug it back in.

Turn on your TV set and your DVD recorder.
On your TV set, select the socket which receives the signals from your DVD recorder

Make sure that all sockets are well pushed into the various sockets.
