INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES
The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included) for
operation. We recommend alkaline batteries
(Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555).
Install the batteries as shown below.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the cover in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Place two fresh AAA batteries in the compartment as indicted by the
polarity symbols (+ and-) marked inside the compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Note:
If the remote control does not work or operates erratically, replace
both batteries.
Cautions:
Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.
Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic circuits.

Memory Sentinel
Your VCR has a special memory sentinel feature that protects clock
settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings by
providing up to 1 hour of backup power in case a power failure occurs or
if the power cord accidentally becomes unplugged. After about 1 hour of
no power, the VCR loses all timer memory settings.
