Chapter 1: Setup and Connections
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the
remote.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak
and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are
not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to
be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV.
The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the
remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear
path between the remote control and the component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.
