4.2 Cleaning
To clean the remote control, gently wipe its surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as these can damage the remote's electronics.
5. Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:

- Replace old batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the DVD recorder's infrared sensor.
