Hitachi VTFX610A - Manual (Page 17)

Getting Started (Initial Setup) - 17 -
Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL buttons but can still be selected by using
the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT.
Adding Channels
Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna was pointed in the wrong
direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air" at the time of programming. Or you may change
your mind about a channel you removed from memory.
To Add or Erase Channels
Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the CHANNEL PRESET screen. Item 3 lets you add or delete
channels. Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or
press PLAY to add it.
Setting Up Your VCR for Each Function Using the Menu Screen
Press GUIDE, then press 2 to bring up the VCR 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:
To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. This will cycle you through
several options.
When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE to return to regular viewing.
Here is what the options mean:
1 AUTO BLUE Press 1 to control the auto blue function which makes the screen blue and mutes sound when
you select a channel without a broadcast signal on the VCR or a channel without a broadcast signal on the VCR
or a channel on which broadcasting has finished. Options are <ON> and <OFF>.
If the signal is too strong, this function may not operate even if you specifiy <ON>. During playback this
function does not operate.
4 HIFI/LINEAR Press 4 to control how the audio signal is processed by the VCR. Options are <HIFI> and
<LINEAR>.
5 STEREO/MONO Press 5 to control how the audio signal is recorded and sent to the TV. Options are
<STEREO> and <MONO>.
6 SAP Press 6 when you are ready to record a second audio program. Options are <OFF> and
<ON>.
Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback
Choose between hi-fi and linear modes, depending on your needs.
HIFI is the preferred setting because it works for all tapes whether they were recorded in hi-fi or linear modes. If
the audio sounds distorted or unusual or there is no audio, try the LINEAR option.
When you set the option to HIFI, hi-fi tapes will play in high fidelity, and non-hi-fi tapes will play in linear mode.
Stereo vs. Mono Sound
When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station that broadcasts stereo sound.
