3 You 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.
4 Later, 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
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.
1 Set the VCR’s input to tuner. To do this, press INPUT on the remote control
until a channel number appears on the screen.
2 Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu comes up. If First Time
Set-Up is not highlighted, use the ADJUST buttons on the remote to highlight it.
3 Press ENTER. First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Press the ADJUST
buttons to select Memorize channels. Press ENTER.
IMPORTANT
If you are recording, playing back a tape, Not available will flash and an error
message will appear. To correct this, stop the tape.

you can receive. You can cancel the memorization at any time by pressing
CANCEL. After the VCR has memorized all the channels, the screen will
return to the VCR’s picture.
Automatic channel memorizing may include vacant channels if there are stray
signals or noise on those channels. If this occurs, you can manually delete the

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.
1 Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will appear.
2 Press the ADJUST buttons to select First Time Set-Up. Press ENTER. The
First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Use the ADJUST buttons to select Set the
clock. Press ENTER.
3 You will see the Set the clock menu. Auto Clock set will be highlighted. Press
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.
