and in line with the markings on the batteries (‘+’ goes next to
‘+’, ‘–’ goes next to ‘–’).

Using the remote control
The remote control ‘talks’ to the receiver using an infrared link
between the sensor on the remote control and the sensor on the
front of the receiver. (Infrared light is an invisible beam of light that
is often found on objects that ‘talk to’ other objects, such as TV
remotes and TVs.)
You can use the remote control up to six metres away from the
receiver, and at an angle of 30 degrees to the receiver’s front panel
(see below). The remote control will not work if there is something
between the remote control and the receiver. If you use your remote
control in direct sunlight or very bright light, it may mean the
remote control does not work as well as usual.

plug out of the socket.
3Take the aerial lead out of the TV and connect it to the ‘RF IN’

time at the top of your screen if you
switch subtitles on.
