The Remote Control Handset

This video recorder is designed so that almost all of its functions can be controlled
from the REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET. This must have a “line of sight” to the 
sensor on the front of the video recorder. It must be within an angle of 30 degrees 
either side of the centre. The maximum operating distance is about 7.5m (25 feet).
Some functions can also be controlled with the controls on the FRONT PANEL of the
video recorder.
