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, turn the front panel jog dial disk
clockwise while holding down the SP/EP button on the front panel. 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, turn the jog dial
counter-clockwise while holding down the SP/EP button on the front panel.
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 61.
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.

Your VCR comes with Mitsubishi’s exclusive on-screen operating
system. This system has been developed to simplify the operation of your VCR
with clear, easy-to-understand language and design.
Before your VCR can receive television channels or you can program your VCR to
record, you need to memorize all of the channels you can receive into your VCR
and set the clock. Fortunately, your VCR makes this an easy process with our
menu system.
When using the on-screen menus, use the ADJUST buttons to move the highlight
bar up or down and to change the setting of selected features. Press the ENTER
button to enter a selection or adjustment. Press the CANCEL button to cancel or
clear a setting.
Memorizing Channels Automatically
Using this process, your VCR will automatically memorize all of the television
stations available to you. You can later get rid of unwanted or unused stations.
If your local cable company scrambles some or all stations, and/or requires you
to use a cable box, then your ability to program channels would normally be
limited. The cable box receives all of your channels, then sends only one to
your TV and your VCR, usually on channel 3 or 4.
If your cable box or cable system seems incompatible with your new VCR, call
your cable company. They may be able to provide solutions to your problems.

Setting Up Your VCR
Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either Setting the Auto Clock or Setting the
Clock Manually.
Setting the Auto Clock
Your VCR can set the clock automatically by picking up a time signal which some
TV and cable channels transmit with their broadcasts. Most PBS stations send this
signal; however, this function works only if a channel in your area is broadcasting a
time signal. If you don’t receive this signal, set the clock manually.

the ADJUST buttons to select ON.
4 Turn the VCR off to activate the auto clock setting function.
The VCR will search for a channel that carries a time signal, then set your time
zone and daylight saving time. If there are only a few channels in your area that
carry time signals, it may take about 30 minutes to complete. If you turn the VCR
on before the correct time displays, the auto clock setting will be cancelled. See if
the clock has been set on the front panel display on the VCR.
If the VCR displays the wrong time, the time zone setting may not be correct. To
adjust this, follow the steps in If the VCR displays the wrong time. (See the next
page.)
IMPORTANT
The auto clock function will activate whenever you turn off the VCR and at
3:00 am, when the VCR power is off. If you use a cable box, make sure that
you leave the cable box on and tuned to the local PBS station to activate the
auto clock function.

you use OTR2, make sure the clock has been set correctly.
1 Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
CHANNEL
2 Select the speed at which you would like to record by pressing SP/EP on the
remote control or on the front panel.
3 Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel number is
shown on-screen or on the front panel display. If L1 or L2 appears instead of a
channel number, continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears.
4 Press CHANNEL or the number buttons on the remote or the front panel jog
dial to choose the channel to be recorded. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the cable box.
Additionally, if you are using an A/B switch, remember to set the switch to the
correct position.
5 Press PAUSE/%START TIME on the front panel to set the time when you wish
recording to start (within 24 hours). The start time is displayed on the front
panel. The first time display is the next half-hour increment from the current
time. For example, if it is currently 2:15, 2:30 (next half-hour increment) will be
displayed. Similarly, if it is currently 2:40, 3:00 (again, the next half-hour
increment) will be displayed. Each time you press the button, the start time is
delayed by 30 minutes.
6 Press REC/˙REC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes you want to add to
the OTR2 timer, up to 4 hours. If you see End on the front panel display, the
VCR will record until the end of the tape.
After 30 seconds, the power will turn off and the programmed recording light will be
lit. The VCR will automatically turn on at the OTR2 start time and recording will
begin. When the OTR2 timer reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off
automatically. If the end of the tape is reached before OTR2 is finished, the VCR
will stop and the power will turn off.

Normal recording (Record):
When your VCR is recording, it actually records the audio portion of a program
twice: once on the stereo Hi-Fi tracks, and once on the mono track. Additionally,
your VCR can receive Separate Audio Program (SAP) broadcasts. A SAP broadcast is an alternative soundtrack for a program; it is often a sound track in another
language. The SAP broadcast is recorded only on the mono track.
Use the normal recording function to record the SAP broadcast on the mono track
by choosing Stereo+SAP. Otherwise, choose Stereo. In either case, the main
program is recorded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no SAP broadcast,
the VCR will record the main program on the mono track.

Timer Recording
Mitsubishi offers 5 ways to set your VCR to record upcoming broadcasts. Choose
from:
D-VHS (digital) Timer Recording
VHS (analog) Timer Recording of Digital Broadcast
VCR Plus+ system programming (easy)
Conventional VCR timer recording
Quick Program (easy) -- VCR does not need to be on to begin programming
You can schedule up to 8 recording events within a one month period.
Clock must be set before any timer recordings can be performed.
D-VHS (digital) Timer Recording
To set the timer recording of the digital broadcast in D-VHS format, set the timer
recording on the integrated HDTV or on the IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver,
not on the VCR. Refer to your TV or receiver owner’s guide.
1 Follow the steps 1 to 4 of Setting Up Your VCR to Playback/Recording the
Digital Broadcast in D-VHS (digital) Format on page 11.
2 Load a D-VHS tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
3 Make sure that the D-VHS button on the front panel is lit. If not, press this
button until it lights up.
4 Press POWER on the VCR front panel or on the remote control to turn off the
VCR.
5 Set the timer recording on the integrated HDTV or on the IEEE 1394-equipped
HDTV receiver. Refer to your TV or receiver owner’s guide for this procedure.
The integrated HDTV or the IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver will receive the
program to be recorded on the start time you have set and send the signal to start
recording to the VCR. The VCR will start recording automatically. The integrated
HDTV or the IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver will send the signal to stop
recording to the VCR on the end time you have set, and the VCR will stop recording automatically.
IMPORTANT
The recording mode will be changed automatically depending on the
broadcasting signal.
Depending on your integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver,
the programmed D-VHS recording may not be recorded if you turn on the
VCR while it is in stand-by mode for the D-VHS timer recording.
The programmed D-VHS timer recording may not be recorded correctly
depending on your integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver.
When you connect more than one integrated HDTVs or IEEE 1394-equipped
HDTV receivers, the D-VHS timer recording of only one integrated HDTV or
IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver will be activated. In this case, while the
VCR is in stand-by mode for the D-VHS timer recording, press INPUT on the
VCR remote to set the VCR’s input to the tuner or press IEEE 1394 INPUT to
select d1 to d5 which corresponds to the receiver or the TV from which you

Timer Recording
Timer Recording Hints
To use the VCR before timer recording begins, press POWER on the remote once.
This turns the programmed recording light off and the VCR on.
If you use POWER on the front panel for this purpose, press it twice. Pressing it
once turns off the programmed recording light; pressing it again turns the VCR on.
When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off again. Make sure
the programmed recording light is back on.
After a program has been recorded, the VCR memory of that program is cleared
(unless you have scheduled the VCR to record the program every day or every
week).
If there is already a program in the VCR’s memory, you will see the Recap screen
when you bring up the menus for programming to record (unless you are programming with the QUICK PROGRAM/VCR Plus+). If the VCR’s memory is full, Program memory is full will appear on the screen. If so, you must erase a program
before you can enter a new one.
If a tape runs out during timer recording, the VCR ejects the tape and the programmed recording light (
) and the tape status symbol ( ) will flash. Load a
PROG REC
new tape and press REC. Recording will resume.
The programmed recording will be cancelled unless you turn the VCR off before
the recording starts. Do not use an integrated HDTV or an IEEE 1394-equipped
HDTV receiver to turn on or function the VCR while the VCR is in stand-by mode for
the timer recording.

REC
If you forget to load a tape, the programmed recording light (
) and the tape
PROG REC
status symbol ( ) will flash when you turn the VCR power off. (A tape without an
erasure tab will be ejected. To correct this, load a tape with its erasure tab intact,
and turn off the VCR.)
Do not overlap the recording times you enter into the VCR. If you set two analog
programmed recording times to overlap, VCR is already programmed for that time
will appear on your screen. When you set the analog and the D-VHS timer recording times overlap, these timer recordings may not be recorded correctly.
Remember that the VCR will record over the next section of tape. If you want to
save a tape, remove it and instead use a different tape for a new recording.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure prevention tab removed.
All rental movies have this tab removed, so they are safe from being accidentally
erased.
Auto Speed Programming
Use auto speed programming if you want to record as much of the program as
possible in standard play (SP) speed, but you want the VCR to automatically switch
to extended play (EP) if there is not enough tape left.
Auto speed programming is only available for one program. In the first slot, the
recording speed default is AUTO.
Make sure that the Tape video function matches the length of tape you are using.
See Selecting and adjusting the audio and video functions on page 28.
At the point where the recording mode changes from standard play (SP) to extended play (EP), some noise may be in the picture or sound when playing the
tape.

Copying a Tape from Analog to Analog
There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape from analog to analog.
One way is to use the HS-HD1100U to record and another VCR for playback.
The other way is to use another VCR to record and use the HS-HD1100U for playback.
Regardless of which method you may choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and video cable to connect the two
VCRs. If you do not have these cables, they are available at your local electronics dealer.
Using the HS-HD1100U to Record from Another VCR
1 Connect the audio cable to AUDIO OUT L and R on
the playback VCR and to AUDIO IN L and R on the
HS-HD1100U. If the playback VCR is mono, use
only the AUDIO IN L on the HS-HD1100U.
2 Connect a video cable to VIDEO OUT on the
playback VCR and to the VIDEO IN on the HSHD1100U.
3 If the playback VCR is Hi-Fi, set the audio monitor to
Stereo.
4 Use INPUT to set the HS-HD1100U to External L1
(L1) if you used the HS-HD1100U rear panel jacks,

Adjusting the Tracking
automatic tracking
Your VCR automatically adjusts the tape to give you the best quality picture. When
you start playback of a newly inserted tape, the DIGITAL TRACKING light (D) will
flash, showing that the VCR is adjusting the picture. When the VCR has finished
adjusting the picture, the DIGITAL TRACKING light will shine steadily.
A certain amount of “noise” in the picture or sound is normal while the VCR is
tracking a tape.
manual tracking
From time to time, you might play a tape that has excess noise in the picture, often
looking like vibration or interference at the top or bottom of the screen, or during DVHS playback, a mosaic noise, still or black picture may appear. To correct the
picture, you have to manually track the tape.
1 While the tape is playing, press and hold SP/EP and turn the front panel jog
dial until the picture is clear of excess noise.
2 To continue automatic tracking, press SP/EP again. Automatic tracking will
also resume when you eject the tape.
slow tracking (for analog playback only)
Slow tracking is used to adjust the playback quality during slow motion playback
and still frame. You can only use slow tracking if your tape was recorded in extended play (EP) speed. To adjust the slow tracking, put a tape into slow motion,
then press and hold SP/EP and turn the front panel jog dial until the best picture is
obtained.
Time Counter
Your VCR has a time counter that shows the amount of time the tape has run in
hours, minutes, and seconds. This counter is useful when you want to find specific
points on a tape. The counter will not work when playing blank tapes or on blank
sections of tape, or when the VCR’s power is off.
setting the counter
To set the counter to “0H00M00S,” press CANCEL on the remote control.
You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCR’s menus.
The counter will reset to “- - H - - M - - S” when you eject a tape. When you load a
tape again, the counter will display “0H00M00S”.
Searching Techniques
Your VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways. These include:
When you record a digital program, there is a chance that it was broadcast as a
non-standard digital signal. This means that while this D-VHS VCR can record the
program, it may not display a picture when you use the visual search function (i.e.
Speed Search). This is not a defect of the D-VHS VCR player.

Advanced Features
Quick search (CM skip)
Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in about 30 second
intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed through any commercials
you may have recorded. To do this:
1 Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to
the VCR position.
2 While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by pressing a number
button.

The VCR will speed through the selected length of tape, then resume playback.
This screen will show the search time and the gauge. Each mark on the gauge
represents 15 seconds. The marks will disappear, one by one, every 15 seconds
of the search time. You can select a search time up to 3 minutes.
Speed search
Use speed search to visually search through the contents of a videotape.
1 While playing a tape, press FF or REW on the remote control. You will see the
picture as it fast forwards or rewinds. Noise bars may appear in the pictures.
2 When you are playing the tape recorded in analog format, if you press FF or
REW and hold it down for about 1 second, the search speed will increase.
3 To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again quickly, or press PLAY.
IMPORTANT
The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is about 30 times
of normal speed. It is normal for the number of noise bars on the screen to
increase and roll from top to bottom as the visual search speed increases.
Using speed search for long stretches of tape may cause the video heads to
become dirty faster.

REW
FF
STOP
The fastest way to move through the tape is without a picture, which allows
you to search up to 500 times normal speed (for the tape recorded in analog
format). To do this, press STOP, then FF or REW. If you press and hold FF
or REW for more than 2 seconds, the search speed will slow to 280 times
normal speed (for the tape recorded in analog format).
In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads, the Fast Forwarding/
Rewinding Speed will be slower than 500x under the following conditions:
1 Use of tapes shorter in length than T-120 (for example, T-30, T-60, T-90).
2 Use of tapes longer in length than T-120 (for example, T-160, T-180, T-210.
Also for DF-300, DF360, DF-420, and DF-480).
3 Activating fast forwarding or rewinding from the middle of the tape.
Speed search may not work correctly when playing back a tape recorded in
both analog and digital format on the same tape.
When you record a digital program, there is a chance that it was broadcast
as a non-standard digital signal. This means that while this D-VHS VCR can
record the program, it may not display a picture when you use the visual
search function (i.e. Speed Search). This is not a defect of the D-VHS VCR
player.
The speed search may not work correctly when playing back a program
recorded by multi stream recording or depending on the program you have
recorded.

Index search
Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before using index search,
index marks will be placed at specific places on the tape. Index search is then
used to find these marks. Index marks are added automatically whenever your
VCR starts a new recording; you can also add index marks manually at any point
during recording.
automatic index marks
Whenever recording is begun from STOP mode, an index mark is automatically
added to the tape. When recording in VHS format, a message will indicate that the
mark is being added.
Index marks are not added when you press PAUSE or REC to begin recording from
the record-pause mode.
manual index marks
To add an index mark yourself, press REC on the remote control while a tape is
recording.

Using the remote control to operate your TV
The HS-HD1100U remote control can operate many of the frequently-used functions of your TV. You only need one remote to operate both your VCR and TV.
The HS-HD1100U remote control is pre-set to operate Mitsubishi televisions, but it
can also operate TVs from other manufacturers. To set your remote control for
your particular brand of television, follow these instructions.
setting up your remote control to operate your TV
1 Turn off your TV.
2 On the HS-HD1100U remote control, set the VCR/TV slide switch to the TV
position.
3 While holding in SP/EP, press the code listed that corresponds to the brand of
your TV.
4 Press TV POWER on the HS-HD1100U remote control. Once your TV has
turned on, your remote is set up to operate your brand of TV.
If your TV does not turn on, repeat step 3 using the next code listed for the brand of
your TV.
If none of the codes listed for the brand of your TV work, then repeat step 3 several
times, using a different code button until one works. The possible code buttons
are: 0, 1-9, MUTE, VOLUME ª,º, CHANNELª,º and INPUT.
You do not need to perform this set-up again until you change the batteries, set up
your remote for another brand of television, or you get a new TV.
Once you have correctly set your remote control to operate your TV, you will be
able to use the TV POWER, CHANNEL, VOLUME, and number buttons to operate
your TV.
IMPORTANT
Because of variations among models, some or all codes may not work, or
they may operate different functions than expected for your particular TV. If
this occurs, you may need to use your TV remote control.
Sometimes manufacturers will change the remote control codes for their
products, or they will use more than one code. If this is the case, your
remote may not be able to control your TV.

To program the remote control operational setting
The HS-HD1100U 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-HD1100U to VCR-B will
allow the HS-HD1100U be operated without the VCR responding at the same time.
To program the HS-HD1100U and the remote to VCR-B
For VCR:
1 Make sure the HS-HD1100U is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front
panel, turn the shuttle ring left while holding down SP/EP on the front panel. To
confirm that the VCR responds to VCR-B signals, b appears on the front panel

When you wish to operate the other VCR
1 On 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-HD1100U to respond to VCR-A signals again
1 Make sure the HS-HD1100U is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front
panel, turn the shuttle ring right while holding down SP/EP on the front panel.
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.

frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or
patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, or displaying the same stationary
patterns frequently, can cause uneven aging of the TV picture tubes and leave a subtle, but permanent, ghost image.
Most TV warranties do not cover this type of damage to the picture tubes. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Do
not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week. Display constantly
moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible. We also recommend that you reduce the contrast
setting of your TV when you watch that type of image. When possible, you may wish to use your television’s PIP, POP,
ZOOM, EXPAND or other picture shape controls so that the moving images fill the screen.
Please check your TV’s owner’s guide for other recommendations.
Examples of stationary images include:
• Letterbox top/bottom bars. These are solid colored bars that when showing a widescreen (16:9) image on a
standard (4:3) TV.
• Side panels. These are the solid colored side bars when showing standard shaped (4:3) TV images on a widescreen
(16:9) TV.
• Stock-market report bars. These include the ticker bar constantly running at the bottom of the TV screen on
financial news channels.
• Shopping channel logos & pricing displays. These include bright graphics that are shown constantly or
repeatedly in the same location.
• Video game patterns and scoreboards.
• Bright station logos. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
• On-line (internet) web sites. In addition, any other stationary of repetitive computer style images from any source
may cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

Trouble Checks
If your VCR malfunctions, try the following steps prior to contacting your Mitsubishi Dealer:
1 Check the Trouble Checks below to see if there is a solution to the current problem that you are experiencing.
2 If the problem is not addressed on the Trouble Checks, the safety circuits in the VCR may be in operation, thus

1 If possible, press EJECT on the front panel and remove the tape.
2 Press TIMER RESET on the rear panel with a pencil or a ball point pen.
3 If 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 complete, then press POWER.
3 You may also try the following procedure if the above steps did not resolve the problem. (All settings will be reset to
the default settings.)
1 Press POWER on the front panel for about 8 seconds until “ ” appears on the front panel display.
2 If a tape is not loaded, press POWER to turn the power on. If a tape is loaded, the tape protecting function will

• Check that the remote mode of the VCR and your remote are set
correctly (VCR-A or VCR-B).
• Check to see that the VCR/TV slide switch is set to the correct position.
• Change the batteries.
• In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads, the Fast
Forwarding/Rewinding Speed will be slower than 500x under the
following conditions:
1 Use of tapes shorter in length than T-120 (for example, T-30, T-60,
T-90).
2 Use of tapes longer in length than T-120 (for example, T-160, T-180,
T-210. Also for DF-300, DF360, DF-420, and DF-480).

• Try the followings:
- Pull off the IEEE 1394 cable, and leave it unplugged for few
seconds, and then plug it again.
- Turn the power on/off of the IEEE 1394-equipped device which is
connected to the VCR.
- If it is equipped, press the RESET button on the IEEE 1394-
equipped device which is connected to the VCR.

• The block noise may appear during speed search of the tape
recorded in D-VHS.
• Clean the video heads using a dry-type video head cleaning cassette.
Do not use a wet-type head cleaning cassette, as it may damage your
VCR. Excessive use of a cleaning cassette could shorten head life.
Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• Have the VCR video heads cleaned by a qualified service technician.
• The program recorded with the Search w/ Picture in the Customize
Choices menu is set to OFF may not be searched correctly.
• Check the hook-up.
• When you connect more than one IEEE 1394-equipped devices, turn
the power off when they are not being used because leaving the
unused devices turned on may cause a lack of memory and may
interfere with the correct transmission of signals.
• You cannot send/receive the data of digital video equipment (for
