to record selected programs automatically. See the "Finding the VCR's Remote Control Sensor"
section in Chapter 2, "Setting Up Your Hitachi Digital Satellite System" for proper placement of

The Hitachi Remote Control
Your Hitachi remote control can control a lot more than just the DSS receiver. It is what is
known as a universal remote control, meaning that with it you can control many popular
televisions, VCRs, and audio components. What's more is that with this state-of-the-art remote
you have more control of your Hitachi digital satellite receiver than with any other brand available
today!
Before we get into the features, you should know that the Hitachi remote control is available in
two models. One can control components induding DSS, TV, cable boxes (CBL), and VCRs.
The other can control these devices, as well as many amplifiers (AMP), compact disc players, and
laser disc players (DISC).
The remote control uses invisible infrared light to send signals to your components when you
press the keys. You must aim your remote toward your component for it to receive the
command.
Descriptions and details of each individual key wi!l be given throughout this manual as they apply,
although an overview follows.
The mode keys across the top enable you to specify the device that you intend to control. This is
important as many devices share the same keys--such as thel["a_R_l_ key or the numeric keys.
