Using the remote control

The remote control ‘talks’ to the receiver using an infrared link between the sensor

on the remote control and the sensor on the front of the receiver. (Infrared light is an

invisible beam of light that is often found on objects that ‘talk to’ other objects, such

as TV remotes and TVs.)

You can use the remote control up to six metres away from the receiver,

and at an angle of 30 degrees to the receiver’s front panel (see below).

The remote control will not work if there is something between the remote control

and the receiver. If you use your remote control in direct sunlight

or very bright light, it may mean the remote control does not work as well

as usual.
