VCR, TV, CATV Device buttons let you set the remote to control one of
the three devices.
0 to 9 Number buttons used in on-screen programming. Can also be
used to change channels. (Simply press 2 or 3 digits for the channel you
want - such as 0 and 6 for channel 6, or 100/ENT and 2 and 4 for channel
124.)
AVX Used for recording from an auxiliary input such as a stereo system.
CHANNEL Top button switches to the next higher channel, bottom button
switches to the next lower channel. For these to operate, you must have
preset your channels.
LAST CHANNEL Switches to the TV channel you watched previously
during the current viewing session.
F.FWD Fast forwards the videotape.
STOP Stops a videocassette from playing, recording, pausing, rewinding
- or anything it is doing.
PAUSE Temporarily stops the cassette from recording or playing. Press
PAUSE again (or PLAY) to resume.
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.
When replacing the batteries, remove the old batteries and press the
POWER button on the remote and hold it for about 10 seconds, then
insert two fresh 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, 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.
