If the remote commander does not operate properly or the indicators of the buttons on the remote commander do not light up, the batteries may be worn out. When replacing batteries, replace both of them with new ones.

• Do not mix old batteries with new ones or mix different types of batteries together.

• If the electrolyte inside the battery should leak, wipe the contaminated area of the battery compartment with a cloth and replace the old batteries with new ones. To prevent the electrolyte from leaking, remove the batteries when you don't plan to use the remote commander for a long period of time.

• Do not handle the remote commander roughly. Do not drop it, step on it or let it get wet.

• Do not place the remote commander in direct sunlight, near a heater, or where the humidity is high.

Notes

• If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one by one, until you come to the correct code for your equipment.

• In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-

Sony video equipment with the supplied remote commander.

This is because your equipment may use a code that is not included with this remote commander.

In this case, please use the equipment's own remote control unit.

• The code numbers for Sony equipment are assigned at the

factory as follows:

VHS VCR

8 mm VCR

301 (preset code for the supplied remote commander)

302

Beta, ED Beta VCRs 303

• Whenever you remove the batteries -- to replace them, for

example -- if too much time is taken, the code numbers

may

revert to the factory settings and must be reset.
