The Remote mode has been changed, to 2, or 3.
The opposite thing happens if you change batteries in the remote.
Place the romote on a firm flat surface, in front of the recorder.
Press and hold "Enter" on the remote, wait for a few seconds, and whilst still holding that, press 1. The DVD display should respond.
