Setting UpYour 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

1Turn 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-1or Input-1on the screen. If you do not have a Mitsubishi TV, please refer to your TV Owner’s Guide for this procedure.

2Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.

3You 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.

4Later, 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

1To choose channel 4; with VCR power OFF, press CHANNEL » and REC SPEED on the front panel at the same time. Ant ch 4 will display on the front panel and theVCR will send signals on channel 4.

If needed, to return to channel 3; with the VCR turned OFF, press CHANNEL ¼ and REC SPEED on the front panel at the same time. Ant

ch 3 will display.

2Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.

operating

3Check 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 theVCR 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.

4Turn 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.
