Mitsubishi SR-HD5 HD DIRECTV Plus Receiver
Appendix A-2
QWhy don’t I have an on-screen offer to purchase pay per view programs?
AThere are four possibilities: 1) Your HD receiver must be connected to a phone line;
2) Your HD receiver is connected to a phone line but DIRECTV does not realize that it is;
3) DIRECTV has disabled your ability to make on-screen purchases; or 4) the pay per view
program is not available for purchase. Call DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-
3288), for assistance.
QCan I receive my local TV programs through my HD receiver?
AThere are three ways to receive local programming:
1) This receiver is able to receive local NTSC and ATSC channel from an antenna con-
nected directly to the IN FROM ANT.
2) If you connect cable and a satellite dish antenna, you can receive the local “lifeline” or
“broadcast basic” service.
3) With a satellite dish antenna and a subscription you may be able to receive some of
your local channels directly from th e satellite. The availability of local channels deliv-
ered directly from satellite will depend on your local area, the type of dish antenna and
the subscription package you order from DIRECTV.
QIf I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced, whom should I
call?
AFor issues regarding your equipment, contact Mitsubishi Consumer Relations directly at 1-
800-332-2119. If you would like, call your dealer first. They are most familiar with your
installation and needs. Also, they are likely to be local to you.
If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels, contact DIRECTV
at 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-3288).
QI thought I had set an event to record on my VCR but, when I played the tape back, nothing
was there. What could be wrong?
AThere are several possible reasons for th is. First, check that the HD receiver is properly
programmed to operated your VCR and that the IR emitter is properly attached to the front
of the VCR. Make sure you have left the VCR turned on and set to the input that matches
the output from your HD receiver (RF channel 3 or 4 or A/V Audio left and right with video
or S-video). Also make sure your HD receiver is in SD output mode. Make sure you select
PreSelect™ of the program was for recording and not viewing. Make sure the program is
authorized for recording and not listed as “can’t tape.”
QI picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound. Why?
AYour HD receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that may have occurred. This
happens very rarely and lasts for only a minute or so.
QWhat if my question isn’t listed here?
ACall your dealer or Mitsubishi Consumer Relations at 1-800-332-2119. We will do our very
best to answer your questions.
