Meet Your On-Screen Guide
Your Hitachi VCR has as a special feature called the Easy Guide System. This feature guides you through
simple setup and programming tasks right on the TV screen.
With the TV and VCR turned on, press GUIDE on the remote control. You will see this screen:
You may view all the on-screen instructions in English, French, or Spanish. When you first set up your VCR, it
will be set to English. Press number 8 or 9 for the other language options.
Now, you will do most of your programming and setup by pressing numbers on the remote control which
correspond to options presented in this and other on-screen menus. Instructions are easy to follow, and a white
dash "--" will show you where your input is required.
When you want to leave the Easy Guide System, simply press GUIDE several times. This will back you out to
the normal TV viewing screen.
If you don't press any button for a while, the VCR will switch you back to an earlier screen or to regular TV
viewing.
