Hitachi VT-FX616A VCR User Manual


 
53
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:
Programming the Remote Control
n Turn the television on (any channel is okay).
n 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 68).
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 with your TV, the channel will change on the TV, and
you'll know the remote is set to control the television.
n If that button combination does not change the TV channel, go through the whole list of button
combinations one by one until you find the one that does change your TV channel.
Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the number buttons. One of them may
work for you.
If the TV channel still doesn't change after going through all the button combinations listed, it is
likely that you will not be able to program this remote control for your TV.
