Setting Up Your VCR
The first thing you need to do is set up your VCR so that you can see the picture
coming from the VCR. It’s important to take a few minutes to set up your VCR
correctly before you try to use it. Based on your type of TV, choose one of the
following:
TV with Audio/ Video Inputs
1 Turn on your TV and switch it to the correct external input. For most
Mitsubishi TVs, this means pressing the TV’s INPUT button until you see the
words Ext-1 or Input-1 on the screen. If you do not have a Mitsubishi TV,
please refer to your TV Owner’s Guide for this procedure.
2 Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.
3 You are now watching the VCR’s picture. To go back to viewing the picture
from the TV, press the TV’s INPUT button to go back to the previous
ANTENNA input position.
4 Later, you should turn the RF converter OFF by following instructions on
page 48.
If your system includes a home theater receiver or an A/V receiver, refer to your
home theater receiver’s owner’s guide.
TV without Audio/Video Inputs
If your TV does not have separate audio/video inputs, then your VCR will need to
convert the VCR’s picture to channel 3 or 4. This is called the video channel. The
factory has already selected channel 3; however, if it is a broadcast channel in
your area, then you will need to change this to channel 4. To make this change:
set up
1 To choose channel 4; with VCR power OFF, press CHANNEL ª and REC
SPEED on the front panel at the same time. Ant ch 4 will display on the
front panel and the VCR will send signals on channel 4.
If needed, to return to channel 3; with the VCR turned OFF, press
CHANNEL º and REC SPEED on the front panel at the same time. Ant
ch 3 will display.
2 Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.
operating
3 Check to see if the VCR light on the front panel display is lit. If it is not, press
VCR/TV on the remote control until the VCR light appears on the front
panel. This light must be on when you watch a video tape or use the VCR
menus. The VCR light will turn on automatically when you play a tape or use
the VCR menus when the RF converter is set to ON. See page 48.
4 Turn on the TV and change the TV to the video channel (3 or 4). You are
now watching the VCR’s picture.
To watch a channel that is different than the channel your VCR is recording, the
VCR light must be off. The VCR/TV button turns this light on and off.
