TV and Audio/Video Settings
After you have completed all steps of the setup procedure and are ready to 
use the Wii system, you will need to set the appropriate input select 
setting for your TV, VCR or other audio equipment.
1.  Turn ON the power for your TV and any audio equipment connected to your
  gameplay setup and the power on the Wii console.
2.  Select the correct input setting for your TV (see Input Select Information at right).
3.  The Wii Menu (see below) should appear on the TV screen. See the Wii Menu
  section of the Operations Manual - Channels and Settings,  for more information
  on this feature.
If the Wii Menu screen does not appear, check to make sure your input setting is 
correct and review the Troubleshooting section on pages 36-39.
    Input Select Information
The input select allows you to switch between the different inputs on your TV or VCR.
Manufacturers of TVs and VCRs use different names and locations for input select.” 
The common names for the input select are: input, select, input select, line, line in, 
source, in, EXT, and AUX. Consult your TV or VCR instruction manual for details.
NOTE: More information on Input Select is available on our web site at 
support.nintendo.com/consumer/inputselects.html
Locate the input select for the component that the Wii AV Cable is connected to (either 
the TV or VCR). The most common locations for input select are:
•  A button on the front of the TV or VCR.
•  A button on the remote control.
•  A high-numbered or low numbered channel (92, 99, 00, or 02) on the TV or VCR.
•  An on-screen menu selection.
Setup of the Wii Remote
The Wii Remote comes with the Wii MotionPlus accessory installed.
•  Be sure that the jacket is installed during gameplay to reduce
  the risk of harm to the remote, surrounding objects, or people. 
•  It may be necessary to remove the jacket – for example, to replace the
  batteries in the Wii Remote. If you do remove the jacket, be sure to replace
  it before further play.
    Installing Batteries
The Wii Remote uses AA batteries.  Nintendo recommends high quality alkaline 
batteries for best performance and longevity of battery life. If you use rechargeable 
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s 
guidelines for safety and proper usage.
Leakage of battery uid can cause personal injury as well as damage to your remote.
If battery leakage occurs, thoroughly wash the affected skin and clothes. Keep battery 
uid away from your eyes and mouth. Leaking batteries may make popping sounds.
To avoid battery leakage:
•  Do not mix used and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).
•  Do not mix different brands of batteries.
•  Nintendo recommends alkaline batteries. Do not use Lithium ion, nickel cadmium
  (NiCad), or carbon zinc batteries.
•  Do not leave batteries in the remote for long periods of non-use.
•  Do not recharge alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries.
•  Do not put the batteries in backwards. Make sure that the positive (+) and
  negative (-) ends are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end rst.
  When removing batteries, remove the positive end rst.
•  Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
•  Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
See page 20 for instructions on removing the jacket and installing batteries.

Synchronizing Your Wii Remote with the 
Wii Console
This procedure allows the remote to communicate with the console.
The Wii Remote included with your Wii system has been synchronized with 
the console at the factory. 
There are two different modes of synchronizing (syncing) a Wii Remote with
your console.
STANDARD MODE – The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional 
Wii Remotes to your system or if you want to re-synchronize your original remote. 
Once synchronized, the remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite 
this setting by syncing the remote to a different console.
ONE TIME MODE – This mode allows you to temporarily use your remote on a console 
other than your own or to use a friends remote on your console. It does not delete 
the Standard Mode setting stored in the remote. In this mode, the remote will 
only communicate with the console while the power is on. When the power is turned 
off the remote will lose its sync with the console.
•  Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the console power ON or OFF.
    Standard Mode Synchronization
NOTE: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote.
1.  Press the Power button on the Wii console to turn it on.
2.  Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote. Press and release the SYNC.
  button inside the cover. The Player LEDs will blink.
3.  Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console. Press and release the
  SYNC. button on the inside of the compartment
4.  When the Player LED blinking stops, connection is complete. The LED that is
  illuminated indicates the player number.
This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to 
your system.
NOTE: This image shows the Wii Remote with the Wii MotionPlus accessory 
removed. 
    One Time Mode Synchronization
NOTE: This mode temporarily removes the Standard Mode synchronization setup for 
all remotes until the power of the Wii console is turned off. When the power is turned 
back on again, the Standard Mode settings will return.
1.  Press the HOME Button on a remote that is synchronized with the console.
2.  Select the Wii Remote Settings option
  from the Home Button menu, then
  select the Reconnect option.
3.  Press the 1 and 2 Buttons
  simultaneously on the remote
  that you want to synchronize with
  the console.
The order in which you synchronize
remotes will set the player order for
multiplayer games.
4.  The Player LEDs will blink during the syncing process. When the blinking stops,
  the connection is complete. See diagram at right for a description of what the
  blinking indicates.NOTE: One Time Mode synchronization is temporary. The Wii Remote will lose 
this synchronization under the following conditions:
•  When you turn off the console by pressing the Power Button on either the remote
  or the console.
•  When starting up a game or Channel from the Wii Menu.
•  When returning to the Wii Menu after exiting from a game or Channel.
•  When you select Reset on the HOME Menu screen.
•  When you press the Reset Button on the front of the console.
IMPORTANT: IF YOUR REMOTE LOSES IT’S SYNCHRONIZATION WITH THE CONSOLE 
AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO RE-SYNC IT, REVIEW THE Wii REMOTE TROUBLESHOOTING 
PROCEDURES ON PAGE 37.
After the syncing 
process, LED that is lit 
shows the player 
number for that remote. During the syncing 
process, the number of 
LEDs that blink will show 
the battery life of the 
remote that is being 
synchronized.
