Hitachi VT-F370A User Manual

Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast TV channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69) and 125 cable 
channels (CATV 1-125). 
When you press 2 on the Initial Setup screen, the tuner automatically cycles through all available 
channels in your area and places them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes.  You can watch the progress 
on the VCR's display - when the channel numbers stop changing, programming is complete.  Only when 
the power goes out for more than 1 hour you do need to preset the channels again. 

 In some areas channels cannot be switched when CATV1 is selected.  Then, select CATV2 in your 

Initial Setup screen. 

 For convenience, the TV channel numbers should match those programmed into the VCR.  If your TV 

has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode - ANT, CATV1 or CATV2 - and let it 
reprogram to match the VCR. 
Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move through the active 
channels.  Or you can press the number buttons to move quickly between channels that are far apart. 

Removing Channels 
You may not want to keep all the stations the auto-programmer selects, since you may prefer to have 
only a few favorite channels in the tuner's memory. Or, you may want to delete from memory a weak or 
unused channel that the tuner picked up. 

 Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL buttons but can still be selected by 

using the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT. 

Adding Channels 
Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna was pointed in the 
wrong direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air" at the time of programming.  Or you 
may change your mind about a channel you removed from memory. 

 Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.  Item 8 lets you add or delete channels.  

Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or press 
PLAY to add it.
