Hitachi VT-F380A Manual De Usuario

Getting Started (Initial Setup) 

 

22

Before you use your VCR to watch or record from your TV, you need to "tell" the VCR 
whether your TV uses cable or antenna input and let it program itself to receive your 
TV's channels.  It's also a good idea to set the clock so you can do timed recording 
later.  With your TV and VCR hooked up, turn them both on and follow these steps 
using the remote control. 

Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.  

 

 

The screen shows the default settings on your VCR.  The default settings are the ones 
that are preset at the factory.  They come up on the VCR every time the power goes out 
for more than 1 hour - for example, during a storm or when you unplug the VCR. 
Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup: 

 To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item.  This 

will cycle you through several options. 

 When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE again to back out of the Easy 

Guide System. 
You need to set items 1 and 7 the first time you set up your VCR and any time you have 
a lengthy power outage.  The rest of the items can be set later as needed. 

Here is what the options mean: 

1  CHANNEL   
Press 1 to select the type of receiving setup you have: 
<ANT>  

Internal or external antenna 

<CATV1> Ordinary 

cable 

<CATV2> 

Alternate cable (if CATV1 doesn't give you the channels you expect) 

2  MOVIE   
Press 2 to select whether you want prerecorded movies (safety tab removed) to play 
automatically when loaded, and then rewind, eject and turn off the power when done.  
Options are <ON> and <OFF>.
