Press GUIDE, then press 2 for DELAYED RECORDING. Press number buttons 1, 2 or 3 for ONE TIME, DAILY, or WEEKLY RECORDING. Follow the flashing instructions on screen to complete the programming. Remember to press 0 before single-digit channel numbers, times, and dates - for example, 0 and 6 for channel 6. After you enter the channel and time, the VCR automatically shows the current date or the next date, whichever is most logical. Leave the date as it comes up, or enter new digits for the month and day. You can correct any item entered as you go by pressing the CLEAR button repeatedly until the digit to be corrected flashes on the screen. Then, punch in the correct number. Illogical times and dates won't be accepted. If you want to record from external equipment, press AVX button to select LINE1 or LINE2 instead of the channel number. When everything is set as you want (even though some items may still be flashing), press GUIDE to program your settings into memory. To preset additional recordings, repeat these steps. Otherwise, press GUIDE to return to the regular TV screen. Don't forget to load a videocassette to record on. Your delayed recording settings take effect when you turn off the power on the VCR. When the power is off, the delayed recording indicator will display on the VCR. This tells you that the VCR will automatically record at the times and dates you have programmed. To Stop a Delayed Recording in Progress Press POWER and then immediately - within 10 seconds - press the STOP button (use buttons on the remote or VCR as you wish). An Example Let's say you were interviewed today by a local TV reporter. You're eager to see yourself on the evening news tonight. The news comes on channel 8 at 6 0'clock - but you've got a meeting scheduled during that time. Luckily you just purchased this Hitachi VCR. Press GUIDE, press 2, then press 1 to bring up the screen for One Time recording: Basic Operations (Recording) Now fill in the blanks: Select channel 8 by pressing 0 and 8 on the remote control. Enter the start time by pressing 0, 6, 0, and 0 for 6 o'clock. Then press 2 for PM. Enter the end time, half past six, as 06:30. The VCR automatically selects PM for you. The screen shows today's date, so no changes are needed on that line. Press 5 to switch to SP because you want the best quality picture for this recording. Everything is as you want it, so press GUIDE to set the program in memory. Insert a videocassette, and power off the VCR. Check for the delayed recording indicator on the VCR's display. Prepare to admire yourself on the evening news. Reviewing What You Have Programmed You can look back over any of the recordings you have preset, and if you need to, clear out any of the programs. Normal programs will clear automatically once recording is complete, but daily and weekly settings must be cleared out manually. Press GUIDE, then press 3 for the PROGRAM REVIEW option. This brings up the screen settings for the first program. Keep pressing 3 to cycle through all the programs you have preset. To remove a program, press CLEAR. The screen will display the next program, if there are more, or it will switch back to the main menu. Programming Priorities When you have set up several timed recordings, it may occur that some of their times overlap. For example, this can happen if you are set up to record shows on a daily or weekly basis, and a special show comes on that you try to record during the same time slot. Shows with Same Starting Time If the overlapping programs start at the same time, the VCR records in order that they were programmed. If the shows are all scheduled to start at 7 AM, the VCR starts with the first program at 7 AM, and switches to what remains of the second program when the first program is done recording, and so on. Shows with Different Starting Times If the programs start at different times, the VCR records the show scheduled to start earliest, records the entire show, then moves on to the show with the next earliest starting time. To avoid recording only bits and pieces of different overlapping shows, review your programming and delete those shows that are not essential. Advanced Operations (Remote Control of TV) Advanced Operations (Remote Control of TV) This section explains how to use the VCR's remote control to operate your TV. It also shows you how to hook up a cable box and how to connect a stereo or a second VCR for a complete home entertainment system. Controlling Your TV with the VCR's Remote Compatibility The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions and cable converters, but will not work with every one made. If your TV or cable box does not respond the way it should when you program it as explained below, this remote may be incapable of operating it. Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change the batteries. This Hitachi remote control can be used with your TV as well as the VCR, as long as ...
