F.FWD  Fast forwards the videotape. 

STOP  Stops a videocassette from playing, recording, pausing, rewinding--or anything it is doing. 

PAUSE  Temporarily stops the cassette from recording or playing. Press PAUSE again (or PLAY) to resume. 

Check out these possibilities: 

Low Battery 
If the remote is not working even at close range, try putting in two fresh AA batteries. 

 When replacing the batteries, remove the old batteries and press the POWER button on the remote and hold 

it for about 10 seconds, then insert two fresh batteries. 

Objects in the Way 
There may be objects between the remote and the VCR - for instance, a stack of books on the coffee table, your 
2-year-old child, the dog.  Hold the remote so that it points at the VCR with nothing in the way. 

For normal TV viewing, you do not need to disconnect the VCR.  When the TV and VCR are already on, press 
POWER on the remote control.  The VCR will shut off, but the TV will stay on. 

If you are recording on the VCR but want to watch a different channel on the TV, press the VCR/TV button to 
switch back and forth between the TV channel and the recording channel.
