Basic Operations (Recording)
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:
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
