the front of the unit. No obstacles may  
stand in the way between remote control  
and infrared sensor.

months. This depends on how often and  
for what operations the remote control is  
used.  
Insert the receptacle into the remote  
control.  
If the remote control unit fails to work  
even when it is operated near the player,  
replace the battery.  
If the remote control is not used for a  
long period of time, remove the battery  
from the compartment, to prevent  
damage by leakage.
