Your remote control lets you command your player from a
distance using infrared signals. Make sure that you are
pointing the remote control at your player’s window,
ensuring that there are no obstacles (chest of drawers,
person, animal, furniture, etc.) between it and the appliance.
The remote control operates with 2 AA batteries which are
delivered separately. Install the batteries in the remote
control before use. Change the batteries when you see that
the player takes time to react or that the remote control
must be brought closer or pointed more specifically at the
window of your player.
Please dispose of batteries in accordance with current
legislation.

A few precautions
Inserting the batteries
Important information regarding batteries
• Respect the polarities. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and old batteries. Do not
use rechargeable batteries. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, do not incinerate them
and do not recharge them. Do not try to open them as they may leak or explode. Remove the
batteries from the remote control unit if you are not going to use it for several weeks.
Immediately remove any leaking batteries. Take care in doing this, as leaking batteries may cause
burns to the skin or other physical injury.
• Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations! Before you dispose of
batteries ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he
accepts to take them back.
