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 MENU on the remote control. You will see this screen:
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 blinking spaces on the screen will show you where your input is needed.
n When you want to leave the Easy Guide System, simply press MENU several times. This will
back you out to the normal TV viewing screen.
n 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.

n Setup for First-Time Operation
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.
Initial Setup Options
Press MENU, 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.
Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup:
n To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. This will cycle
you through several options.
