Be sure that HIFI is selected in the VCR SETUP screen (See page 23). Press DISPLAY, then press 5 on the remote control to select SP or EP. The EP setting gives you reasonable audio quality and a longer tape program. Press AVX on the remote control to turn the LINE (L1) indicator on. Press REC/IRT on the VCR and start the stereo system audio source (Tape, CD, etc.). To stop recording, press STOP. To play back the recording, rewind the tape and press PLAY. Advanced Operations (Second VCR) Integrating a Second VCR With another VCR hooked up, you can copy videotapes as needed, and you can get fancy with multimedia programming. For this discussion, we refer to the model VT-FX610A Hitachi as VCR2 and the other unit as VCR1. Hookup To hook up a second VCR, you need: A video cord with a single jack on each end, and An audio cord with two jacks on each end, or A three-way cord that has both audio and video jacks Study the back of VCR2 (VT-FX610A) to find the three color-coded jacks that are labeled IN. The yellow jack is for video, red and white are for audio. Locate similar jacks on VCR1. Then, with the power off: Connect VIDEO OUT on VCR2 to the yellow VIDEO IN on VCR1. Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks (left and right) on VCR2 to the AUDIO IN jacks (left and right) on VCR1. Be sure to match left to left (white) and right to right (red). Second VCR Hookup Copying from One VCR to Another (Dubbing) Consider VCR1 the recording VCR, and VCR2 (VT-FX610A) the playback VCR. You will play a tape on VCR2 and record it on VCR1. To begin copying: Insert the videotape you wish to record in VCR2. Insert a blank or erasable tape (with the safety tab intact) into VCR1. Press AVX on VCR1--the LINE indicator will display. Press REC on VCR1, and press PLAY on VCR2. To monitor the picture as you record, VCR1 must be connected to your TV (follow instructions in the other VCR's manual). Press the VCR/TV button on the remote. The VCR indicator will light on VCR1's display and you can view the picture being recorded. Putting the Record VCR in Pause Some models of VCR will switch to the "STOP" mode if they are left in the RECORD/PAUSE mode for more than five minutes. It is a good idea not to leave your recording deck in RECORD/PAUSE for more than five minutes so that this will not happen. Advanced Operations (Camcorder) Copying Tapes From A Camcorder If you would like to copy a video tape shot in your camcorder onto your VCR, here's how to do it. Connect the camcorder's AV output cable to your VCR. (see diagram below) Camcorder to VCR Hookup Illustration * It is not necessary to connect the S-VIDEO jack. Press the AVX button on the VCR's remote control so that the L2 (Line) indicator appears in the VCR display. Press REC/IRT on the VCR to start recording. Press PLAY on your camcorder to start copying your tape. Information on Audio Hookup If your camcorder is only capable of monaural output (one audio jack) connect it to the AUDIO IN L/MONO input on the front of the VCR. VCR Care and Servicing The VCR is fairly self-servicing, but you'll want to keep an eye on a few things as you go. In addition, you may sometimes have troubles with your VCR. We offer some suggestions for care to prevent problems, ways to troubleshoot, and places to contact when you cannot solve the problems yourself. Routine Cleaning Head Cleaning The heads are tiny mechanisms in the VCR that pick up the video signal as a videotape passes over them. In time, a residue of electromagnetic dust builds up on the heads because of contact with the tape. This dust interferes with the signal being picked up. Your Hitachi VCR automatically cleans the video heads whenever a cassette is loaded or ejected and when a cassette is already inside the VCR when you turn the power off. It also self-cleans during fast-forward and reverse play. You will hear a mechanical sound during auto head cleaning. Even with the auto head cleaning system, dirt can build up on the heads. If the picture is blurry during playback, or is occasionally interrupted or blanks out, try playing different cassettes to see whether you get the same picture problems. If the picture problems persist, the heads may need to be cleaned professionally. Consult your VCR dealer for the name of trained service technician near you. Periodic Maintenance Your Hitachi VCR is a precision electro mechanical device which requires professional maintenance after a period of normal use. Usually no maintenance other than head cleaning is required during the warranty period, unless the VCR is used either heavily or infrequently. Defective parts are covered during the warranty period, but normal maintenance is your responsibility. Consult your VCR service center to find out what they recommend as normal maintenance based on your location, how you use the VCR, and the age of the machine.
