3 Close the cover.
1 Turn the commander over, and remove the cover.
Notes
2 Check the polarities and position two R6 (size AA) batteries correctly.
· With normal use, the batteries should last for approximately six months. · Use two R6 (size AA) batteries. · If you use the batteries incorrectly, they may leak or explode. See notes below for correct usage. Insert the batteries with correct polarity as shown above. Do not use a new battery together with an old one. Do not use different types of batteries together. Do not recharge the batteries. If you are not going to use the remote commander for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

FRAME/TIME/ SCENE DISPLAY
Video scenes are counted as a series of still pictures or "frames." When playing a CAV (standard-play) LD, the player keeps track of the number of frames, allowing you to locate a scene on the CAV disc by specifying the frame number. When playing a CLV (extended-play) LD, the player keeps track of the elapsed playing time, allowing you to locate a particular point on the CLV LD by specifying the total elapsed time. On Ver. 2.0 VIDEO CDs (with PBC functions), "scene numbers" are assigned to some points on moving pictures and to each still picture, allowing you to locate a scene you want to view on the VIDEO CD by specifying the scene number. This is only available during PBC playback (when the PBC ON/OFF button indicator on the player is lit).

On the other hand, if you enter a playing time longer than the disc playing time, all songs will be stored only in Program A. This is because Program A always has priority over B. The table below shows how the player assigns the time in such cases. Example for a 40-minute disc:
