Step 6: Preparing the
Remote

You can control the recorder using the supplied
remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by
matching the

and

ends on the batteries to the

markings inside the battery compartment. When
using the remote, point it at the remote sensor

on the recorder.

Notes

• If the supplied remote interferes your other Sony DVD

recorder or player, change the command mode number
for this recorder (page 24).

• Use the batteries correctly to avoid possible leakage

and corrosion. Do not touch the liquid with bare hands
should leakage occur. Observe the following:
– Do not use a new battery with an old battery, or

batteries of different manufacturers.

– Do not attempt to recharge the batteries.
– If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended

period of time, remove the batteries.

– If battery leakage occurs, wipe out any liquid inside

the battery compartment, and insert new batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor (marked

on the

front panel) to strong light, such as direct sunlight or
lighting apparatus. The recorder may not respond to the
remote.

You can adjust the remote’s signal to control your
TV.
If you connected the recorder to an AV amplifier
(receiver), you can use the supplied remote to
control the AV amplifier’s (receiver’s) volume.

Notes

• Depending on the connected unit, you may not be able

to control your TV or AV amplifier (receiver) with
some or all of the buttons below.

• If you enter a new code number, the code number

previously entered will be erased.

• When you replace the batteries of the remote, the code

number may be reset to the default setting. Set the
appropriate code number again.
