Using the Wireless Remote Control

Use the wireless remote control to operate the camcorder from a distance. The PLAY, F.FWD, REW, STOP, PAUSE (START/STOP) and ZOOM buttons on the wireless remote control operate the functions of the corresponding buttons on the camcorder. Aim the wireless remote control at the infrared receiver of the camcorder.

Aiming remote Illustration

Note: Use the wireless remote control within the range of the infrared receiver of the camcorder shown above.

Note: The wireless remote control may not function in strong light such as direct sunlight or very bright artificial lighting.

Note: Clear a direct path from the wireless remote control to the infrared receiver. The wireless remote control won't work if an obstacle blocks the infrared rays.

Note: The remote control code of this camcorder is Hitachi code VCR2. If you have a VCR with the same code your Hitachi VCR may malfunction when you use the camcorder's wireless remote control.

Creating and Recording A Title

Create titles easily and personalize your recordings while keeping a permanent visual record of what is contained on a tape. The camcorder can store a title in its memory. A title stored in memory can be displayed and recorded at any time. A title contains two lines of up to 16 characters per line. The camcorder contains 47 different characters for creating a title. When creating and recording a title, use the TITLE ON/OFF button on the remote control. (When creating a title in the CAM mode, the DATE/TITLE button of the camcorder can be used instead of the TITLE ON/OFF button on the remote control. "￿ TITLE" should be displayed in the viewfinder at this time.)

Note: Be sure to insert the clock battery before creating a title. Although a title can be created without the clock battery inserted, it will disappear when the battery providing power to the camcorder is removed.
