Advanced Operations
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.
Compatibility
The remote control is designed
to be compatible
with many televisions,
but will
not work with every one made. If your TV 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 your TV comes with a remote control. This feature
comes in handy - you don't
have to juggle two remotes.
The remote control is compatible
with the fifteen
makers of TV's listed below - but
don't be alarmed
if yours is not on our list. You may still be able to program the
remote for your TV.
Every TV that comes with a remote control is set up to detect certain infrared
signals. You need to program
the VCR's remote control to send signals that your
TV will recognize
and respond
to. Here's what to do:
Programming
the Remote Control
Turn the television
on (any channel
is okay).
Aim the VCR's remote control at your TV set. Hold down the TV button (not the
VCP,/TV button) while you press the number corresponding
to your brand of
television
as shown in the chart (page 45).
For example,
if you have an RCA television,
press TV and 0 at the same time. If
this button combination
sends a signal that matches with your TV, the channel
will change on the TV, and you'll know the remote is set to control the television.
If that button combination
does not change the TV channel,
go through
the
whole list of button combinations
one by one until you find the one that does
change your TV channel.
Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the number buttons. One
of them may work for you.
If the TV channel still doesn't change after going through all the button
combinations
listed, it is likely that you will not be able to program this remote
control for your TV.
