Advanced Operations (Remote Control of TV)
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.
Controlling Your TV with the VCR's Remote
Compatibility
The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions and cable converters, but will not
work with every one made. If your TV or cable box 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 fourteen makes 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 VCR/TV button) while
you press the number corresponding to your brand of television as shown in the chart (page 41).
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 your TV, the channel will change on the TV, and you'll know the remote is set
to control the television.
