Preparing the remote control unit
Inserting batteries
1
Open the battery cover.
2
Load the supplied two AA size batteries while inserting
their respective negative polarity (–) ends first.
• The battery polarities must correspond with the (+) and
(–) indicators in the battery compartment.
3
Close the battery cover.
NOTE
As with the simplified remote control unit, the method for
inserting batteries is the same except the type of batteries (two
AAA size).
Cautions regarding batteries
• The remote control unit cannot operate the system if the
batteries in the unit are weak. When this happens, replace
the batteries with new ones.
• When you replace the batteries, use alkaline batteries for the
main remote control unit and manganese batteries for the
simplified remote control unit.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of
batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new
batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leakage in old batteries.
• Do not leave dead batteries in the remote control unit;
chemical leakage will occur. If you find any chemical
leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter
life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not use the remote control unit for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Allowed operation range of the remote control
unit
Operate the remote control unit (both main and simplified)
while pointing it toward the remote control sensor located at
the bottom right of the front panel of the Plasma Display. The
distance from the remote control sensor must be within 7 m
(23 feet) and the angle relative to the sensor must be within 30
degrees in the right or left direction.
NOTE
• With the PDP-4272HD/PDP-4271HD/PDP-4270HD, the SR
logo is located at the lower right on the speaker but the
location of the remote control sensor is the same as with the
PDP-6072HD/PDP-6071HD/PDP-6070HD/PDP-5072HD/
PDP-5071HD/PDP-5070HD.
Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock, liquid, or
high humidity.
• Do not place the remote control unit under direct sunlight;
the unit may deform.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote
sensor window of the Plasma Display is under direct
sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of
the lighting or Plasma Display, or operate the remote control
unit closer to the remote sensor window.
• When any obstacle exists between the remote control unit
and the remote control sensor, the remote control unit may
not function.
• As the batteries become weak, the remote control unit can
function within a shorter distance from the remote control
sensor. Replace the batteries with new ones if necessary.
• The Plasma Display emits very weak infrared rays from its
screen. If you place such equipment operated through
infrared remote control as a VCR nearby, that equipment
may not receive commands from its remote control unit
properly or entirely. If this is the case, place that equipment
at a location far enough from the Plasma Display.
• Depending on the installation environment, infrared rays
from the Plasma Display may not allow this system to
properly receive commands from the remote control unit or
may shorten allowable distances between the remote
control unit and the remote control sensor. The strength of
infrared rays emitted from the screen differs, depending on
images displayed on the screen.
Battery disposal
When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country/area.
