￿Press the VCR PLUS+ button. The screen for VCR PLUS programming of the timer will appear. Press the VCR PLUS+ button again when this screen appears. The screen for manual programming of the timer will appear. Press number buttons 1, 2 or 3 for ONE TIME, DAILY, or WEEKLY RECORDING. Follow the white dashes "-" on screen to complete the programming.

Remember to press 0 before single-digit channel numbers, times, and dates - for example, 0 and 6 for channel 6.

After you enter the channel and time, the VCR automatically shows the current date or the next date, whichever is most logical. Leave the date as it comes up, or enter new digits for the month and day.

￿If you make a mistake when entering digits, press CLEAR repeatedly to return the white dash "-" to the digit to be corrected. Then, punch in the correct number. Illogical times and dates won't be accepted.

￿If you want to record from external equipment, press AVX button to select LINE1 or LINE2 instead of the channel number.

￿When everything is set as you want (even though white dashes "-" may still appear on some items), press VCR PLUS+ to program your settings into memory.

￿To preset additional recordings, repeat these steps.

￿Don't forget to load a videocassette to record on.

￿Your delayed recording settings take effect when you turn off the power on the VCR.

To Stop a Delayed Recording in Progress

Press POWER and then immediately - within 10 seconds - press the STOP button (use buttons on the remote or VCR as you wish).

An Example

Let's say you were interviewed today by a local TV reporter. You're eager to see yourself on the evening news tonight. The news comes on channel 8 at 6 0'clock--but you've got a meeting scheduled during that time. Luckily you just purchased this Hitachi VCR.

Press the VCR PLUS+ button. The screen for VCR PLUS programming of the timer will appear. Press the VCR PLUS+ button again when this screen appears. The screen for manual programming of the timer will appear. Then press 1 to bring up the screen for One Time recording:

Now fill in the blanks:

￿Select channel 8 by pressing 0 and 8 on the remote control.

￿Enter the start time by pressing 0, 6, 0, and 0 for 6 o'clock. Then press 2 for PM

￿Enter the end time, half past six, as 06:30. The VCR automatically selects PM for you.

￿The screen shows today's date, so no changes are needed on that line.

￿Press 5 to switch to SP because you want the best quality picture for this recording. Everything is as you want it, so press VCR PLUS+ to set the program in memory.
