How do I calibrate the touch screen?

The Remote Control is calibrated when it leaves the factory, so normally you do

not have to calibrate it yourself. It is possible that the Remote Control displays a

message to calibrate the touch screen. If this message appears, do the following:

You will first see the instruction ÒTouch TOP LEFT cornerÓ and then ÒTouch

BUTTOM RIGHT cornerÓ.

1

Tap as close as possible the upper left corner using a blunt tip of a pencil.

2

Tap as close as possible the upper right corner using a blunt tip of a pencil.
