Trouble Checks

If your VCR malfunctions, try the following steps prior to contacting your Mitsubishi Dealer:

1Check the Trouble Checks below to see if there is a solution to the current problem that you are experiencing.

2If 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.)

1If possible, press EJECT on the front panel and remove the tape.

2Press TIMER RESET on the rear panel with a pencil or a ball point pen.

3If 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 completed, then press POWER.

3You may also try the following procedure if the above steps did not resolve the problem (All settings will be reset to the default settings.).

1Press POWER on the front panel for about 8 seconds until the current time display on the front panel shows “- : - -.”

2If 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 completed, then press POWER.

If the problem with your VCR persists, contact your Mitsubishi dealer for assistance.
