Hitachi VTFX610A - Manual (Page 27)

Advanced Operations - 27 -
The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions, but will not work with every one made. If
your TV does not respond the way it should when you program it as explained below, this remote may be
incapable of operating it.
Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change the batteries.
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
Turn the television on (any channel is okay).
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 42).
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.
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.
