CONTROLLING YOUR TV OR CABLE CONVERTER
WITH THE VCR'S REMOTE
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 fifteen makers 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:
Compatibility
• The remote control is designed to be operated 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
if as explained follows, 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.
REMOTE CONTROL OF THE CABLE CONVERTER
If you have a cable converter, you will probably want to program your VCR's remote control so you can
easily change channels. The process is the same as for programming the remote to operate your TV.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL OF THE CABLE
CONVERTER
1 Program the remote control
Hold down the CATV button and press the number of your brand of cable box (shown in the chart).
NOTE:
If that button combination does not work, or if your brand is not on the chart, just go through all
the button combinations until you find the one that works best.
