How the Remote Control Works
Pressing a button on the remote control transmits an invisible beam of light (infrared) to a receiver at the right
front of the VCR.
When using the remote, aim the front end toward the VCR and make sure nothing - such as a coffee table or
your dog - is blocking the path of the infrared beam.
