1. Introduction and Overview
This manual provides instructions for the Tekswamp Replacement Remote Control, designed for use with the Onkyo PDR-155 DVD AV Controller. This remote offers most of the original commands for your device without requiring additional programming.
The remote is guaranteed to control basic functions such as powering the device on and off, accessing and navigating menus, and selecting input signals. Please note that some specific functions, including page flip, keystone correction, video adjustment, and numerical inputs, may not function identically to the original remote in all cases. This remote does not include a laser pointer function.

The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included) for operation. Follow these steps to install the batteries:
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the cover downwards or press the latch (if present) to open the compartment.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the markings inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover by sliding it back into place until it clicks securely.
Important: Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity. Remove batteries if the remote will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
