Controlling Your TV with the Camera/Recorder's Remote Control
The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions, but will not work with
every one made. If your TV does not respond the way it should when you program it as explained
below, this remote may be incapable of operating it.
Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change the
batteries.
This remote control can be used with your TV as well as the camera/recorder, as long as your TV
comes with a remote control. This feature comes in handy -- you don't have to juggle two
remotes.
The remote control is compatible with the fourteen makers of TVs listed below -- but don't be
alarmed if yours is not on our list. You may still be able to program the remote for your TV.
Every TV that comes with a remote control is set up to detect certain infrared signals. You need
to program the camera/recorder remote control to send signals that your TV will recognize and
respond to. Here's what to do:
Programming the Remote Control
l
ll
l Turn the television on (any channel is okay).
l
ll
l Aim the camera/recorder's remote control at your TV set. Hold down the CH ( ) button while
you press the button corresponding to your brand of television as shown in the chart (page 42).
For example, if you have an RCA television, press CH ( ) and DISPLAY at the same time. If
this button combination sends a signal that matches with your TV, the channel will change on the
TV, and you'll know the remote is set to control the television.
l
ll
l If that button combination does not change the TV channel, go through the whole list of button
combinations one by one until you find one that does change your TV channel.
Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the buttons. One of them may work for
you.
If the TV channel still doesn't change after going through all the button combinations listed, it is
likely that you will not be able to program this remote control for your TV.
