To turn the backlighting on, simply press theLight Button z. That button is made from a spe-cial “glow” material that makes it easier to find in darkrooms. This glow feature does not use any batterypower, so the glow will fade when the remote is keptin a dark room for an extended period of time. Youmay “recharge” it by placing the remote in normalroom lighting for a few hours.Once the Light Button y is pressed, the remote’sbacklighting will remain on for approximately 7 sec-onds, and when you press any button on the remotewhile the backlighting is on, the light will stay on foranother 7 seconds. However, the remote’s “Couch”function will conserve battery power by turning boththe backlighting and the LCD display off when anybutton is pressed for more than 30 seconds.You may also configure the remote so that the back-lighting will come on, any time a button is pressed.To set this option, follow these steps:1.
