To program the remote control operational setting

The HS-U778 has two remote control operational settings,VCR-A and VCR-B. These are available so you may separately control two Mitsubishi VCRs that are placed close together. The VCR-A setting can be used to operate any other Mitsubishi VCR introduced since 1986. Setting the HS-U778 toVCR-B will allow the HS-U778 be operated without the VCR responding at the same time.

To program the HS-U778 and the remote toVCR-B

For VCR:

1Make sure the HS-U778 is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front panel, press REC SPEED and REW at the same time. To confirm that the VCR responds to VCR-B signals, b appears on the front panel display.

For remote:

2On the remote, make sure the VCR/TV slide switch is in the VCR position, then press VCR/TV and number “2” at the same time. The remote will now send VCR-B signals.

When you wish to operate the other VCR

1On the remote, with the VCR/TV slide switch in the VCR position, press VCR/TV and the number “1” at the same time. The remote will now send VCR-A signals.

To reprogram the HS-U778 to respond to VCR-A signals again

1Make sure the HS-U778 is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front panel, press SP/EP and FF at the same time. To confirm that the VCR responds to VCR-A signals, A appears on the front panel display.

IMPORTANT

Some other models of Mitsubishi VCRs can respond to VCR-B signals. If your other VCR is one of these models, and you would like to program the other VCR to respond to VCR-B signals, refer to the owner’s guide that came with the other VCR.

Some of the buttons may not function or they may operate different features than expected for the other VCR, particularly, those Mitsubishi VCR’s that are more than 10 years old because Mitsubishi changes the codes from time to time.

Child Lock

The child lock feature prevents others from using your VCR. To lock the VCR:

1Press and hold down DISPLAY on the remote control for about 8 seconds. The LOCK light on the front panel display will light up.

2To cancel the child lock, press and hold down DISPLAY for about 8 seconds, until the LOCK light on the front panel display goes out.

IMPORTANT

You can lock the VCR with the power off, even if the VCR is standing by for a programmed recording. If you lock the VCR with no cassette in it, the VCR will not accept a cassette. To unload the accidentally loaded tape while the VCR is off and child lock is in use, press TIMER RESET on the rear panel to cancel the child lock.
