Remote Control Location & functions

To install batteries: Your REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET is powered by two AAA type batteries.

1. To insert them, push the tab backwards and lift off the cover of the handset.
2. Put the two batteries into the compartment making sure the + and - are correctly positioned.
3. Replace the cover.

Your video recorder (VCR) is designed so that almost all of its features can be controlled from the REMOTE CONTROL HANDSET. Some features can also be controlled from the FRONT PANEL of the video recorder. The maximum operating distance that you may control your video recorder is about 7.5 metres (25 feet). It must also be within an angle of 30 degrees either side of the REMOTE SENSOR on the front of your video recorder.

To avoid damage from possible battery leakage, remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control handset for an extended period of time. Do not use batteries of differing age or type. Always discard batteries safely.

● This remote control supports two remote control codes for LG TV: Code 1 and Code 2. - When the unit is shipped from the factory, the remote control is set to Code 1. If your LG TV is not operated, set the remote control to Code 2. - To set the remote control to Code 2, hold down both the TV button and "2" number button on the remote control. (If the batteries in the remote control are replaced while the remote control is set to Code 2, the setting will revert Code 1.) - To set the remote control back to Code 1, hold down both the TV button and "1" number button on the remote control.

If the remote control does not operate your particular TV, try one of the other code or use the remote control originally supplied with the LG TV.

Due to the variety of codes used by manufacturer, OUR COMPANY cannot guarantee that the remote control will operate every model of the LG TV.

Video Head Cleaning

Dirt accumulating on the head after a long period of time can cause the playback picture to become blurred or broken up. High quality video cassette tapes will not normally deposit dirt onto the video head, but old or damaged tapes might.

Clean the video heads with a commercially available video heads cleaning tape.
