Hitachi VHS VT-M292A Manuel D’Utilisation

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 5 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. 
If you do not use the cable box, you need to set items 1 and 8 the first time you set up 
your VCR. If you receive all channels from the cable box, you need to set item 1 and 
item 7 the first time you set your VCR (See page 44). 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
