Hitachi VT-F390A User Manual

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 indicator on the VCR's display. Prepare to admire yourself on the 
evening news. 

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. 

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.
