When the Remote Doesn't Work Right
Check out these possibilities:
Low Battery
If the remote is not working even at close range, try putting in two fresh AA batteries.
Objects in the Way
There may be objects between the remote and the VCR - for instance, a stack of books on the coffee
table, your 2-year-old child, the dog. Hold the remote so that it points at the VCR with nothing in the way.
Set to Wrong Device
It may be set to VCR2 when you're trying to control VCR1. To confirm that this is the case, try pressing
VCR2 and a function button (like channel up or down). If the remote works now, you know that it's set to
VCR2. To reset it to VCR1, refer to the on-screen Initial Setup options.
If You Just Want to Watch TV
For normal TV viewing, you do not need to disconnect the VCR. When the TV and VCR are already on,
press POWER on the remote control. The VCR will shut off, but the TV will stay on.
If you are recording on the VCR but want to watch a different channel on the TV, press the VCR/TV
button to switch back and forth between the TV channel and the recording channel.
