Trouble Checks
If your VCR malfunctions, try the following steps prior to contacting your Mitsubishi Dealer:
1 Check the Trouble Checks below to see if there is a solution to the current problem that you are experiencing.
2 If the problem is not addressed on the Trouble Checks, the safety circuits in the VCR may be in operation, thus
please try the following: (the clock setting and the timer recording will be deleted.)
1 If possible, press EJECT on the front panel and remove the tape.
2 Press TIMER RESET on the rear panel with a pencil or a ball point pen.
3 If a tape is not loaded, press POWER to turn the power on. If a tape is loaded, wait about 1 minute until the
tape protecting function is complete, then press POWER.
3 You may also try the following procedure if the above steps did not resolve the problem. (All settings will be reset to
the default settings.)
1 Press POWER on the front panel for about 8 seconds until “ ” appears on the front panel display.
2 If a tape is not loaded, press POWER to turn the power on. If a tape is loaded, the tape protecting function will
work and “99” will appear on the front pane display to begin count down. Wait about 1 minute until it reaches
“00” to show the tape protecting function is complete, then press POWER.
If the problem with your VCR persists, contact your Mitsubishi dealer for assistance.
