Why won't my Hitachi DVD VCR Combo record even though the timer is set?
- R
  Rodney LopezJul 31, 2025
  If your Hitachi DVD VCR Combo recorder won't record even with the timer set, it might be due to several reasons. First, make sure you have a disc or tape loaded. If there is one, ensure it's a recordable type. Also, check the Setup menu to see if Disc Protect is turned ON; if it is, turn it OFF. Verify that the power is turned on. Finally, if the disc is full with 99 titles (DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVDRAM) or 49 titles (DVD+RW, DVD+R), delete some titles to create additional space.

What to do if I can't enter a timer program on my Hitachi DVD VCR Combo?
- A
  Andrew LloydAug 10, 2025
  If you're having trouble entering a timer program on your Hitachi DVD VCR Combo, it could be because a recording is already in progress. Wait for the current recording to finish, and then try setting the timer. Another reason could be that you're trying to set a time that has already passed; make sure to choose a future time. Lastly, you may have reached the limit of 8 timer programs. If so, you’ll need to delete an existing timer program before adding a new one.

How does Hitachi DVD VCR Combo handle overlapping timer programs?
- C
  curtisvaughanAug 20, 2025
  When two or more timer programs overlap on your Hitachi DVD VCR Combo, the device follows a specific order. The program that starts earlier will always take priority. Once the earlier program concludes, the subsequent program will then commence. If two programs are set to begin at the exact same moment, the program that was entered first will be given priority.
