Now that you're familiar with some of your VCR's features, you're ready to connect the antenna and the televi,;ien. You won't have to complete all of the connections you see in this chapter -- make only those connections that apply to your equipment.

You should keep in mind that there are two steps you need to take to connect your VCR: first, connect the antenna or cable to the VCR, then connect the VCR to the telev:ision.

ConnectingtheAntennaorCableto theVCR

The first thing you need to do is connect the antenna or cable. Because there are at least three different types of antennas, this chapter will show how to conr_ect all of thera. You don't need to make all the connections. Fir_;t, find out what kind of antenna you have. Then, make the connection for that type of antenna. You can then go to the next section, "Connecting the Television."

This section shows you:

• Connecting cable anter, nas,

• Connecting other antermas, and ° Connecting separate UHF/VHF antenrLas.

Connectingcableantennas

If you have cable TV, this is tlhe only antenna you need to ihook up. Because some cable companies require a cable box (for un- scrambling cable sign als), there are two kind:_ of cable connec-

tions shown: with and without a cable box.

connectingcablewithoutacablebox

Find the "source" cable. It usually comes out of the floor or out of a wall. If it is connected to your TV, di_=connect it.

Connect the cable to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the back

of your VCR. Screw or push the cable onto the terminal until it is tight.

When you are finished, go to page 15, "Connecting the Televi- sion."

Page 15

connectingcablewithacablebox

If your cable system requires you to use atc able box, follow the directions below to connect your cable box to your VCR:

0 Disconnect the cable box from the TV.

Connect the cable coming from the cable box to the AN- TENNA IN terminal on the back of your VCR. Screw or push

the cable onto the termi hal until it is ti ght.

Place the cable box on the center of the top of the VCR. Place the rear of the cable box flush with tile rear of the VCR. Make

sure the cable box doesn't obstruct the VCR's ventilation slots.

When finished, go to page 15, "Connect_ing the Television."

If your cable box has audio and video outp_Lts, follow the addi- tional directions below.

Connect one audio cable to the left audio output terminal on

the cable box. Connect 1:he other end of"this cable to the AUDIO INPUT terminal on the VCR labeled L/MONO.

Connect one audio cable to the right audio output terminal on the cable box. Connect _he other end ot! this cable to the

AUDIO INPUT terminal on the VCR labeled R.

_Important:

Connect one video cable to the video output terminal on the cable box. Connect the other end of thi,; cable to the VIDEO

INPUT terminal on the VCR.

If you plan to connect a satellite receiver to your VCR, connect the cable box to the input terminals on the front of the VCR. Other- wise, connect the cable box to the rear terminals. Audio and video cables are available at your local electroni_:s store.

If you need a cable box to descramble all cable channels, you can't

record one channel while watching another. If you have questions

concerning your cable system, please contract your cable company.

Connectingotherantennas

If you don't have cable TV, you'll need to connect a regular an- tenna. Your antenna may have one of two ,_ifferent kind of ends

(called "leads") on it. The two kinds of leads are:

300-ohm flat twin leads

that look like this... "

...or a :_5-ohm round lead

that looks like this:

Page 16

Chapter2:ConnectingYourVCR ConnectingtheAntennao,'CabletotheVt..,R(cont.)

Follow the procedures for connecting the kind of leads your antenna has, then go to page 15, "Connecting the Television."

O Before you can attach the antenna leads to the adapter, you

need to expose a 5/8 inch segment of each lead by scraping off the brown plastic covering. Sometimes these leads have "U" shaped clips that fit around the screw, i.n which case you will not need to peel back the plastic.

Wrap each exposed end of wire once or twice around the screw shanks of the adapter (or insert the clips _nder the screw heads). Tighten the screws.

O Push the adapter firmly onto the antenna terminal on the

VCR labeled ANTENNA ]IN.

ConnectingseparateUHFNHF antennas

You may have two separate antennas (one U]_IF, one VHF) that bring TV signals into your home. If you do, you'll need to combine

the two antennas befi)re connecting them to the VCR. To d:o this, you'll need an attachment called a combiner (which is available at

your electronics store). This chart will help you determine the

kind of combiner you need.

Now that you have completed the antenn_t connections to your

VCR, you're ready to connect the VCR to the TV. (If you haven't

connected the antenna to the VCR, go to page 12, "Connecting the Antenna or Cable to the VCR.") Because every television is different (especially older l:nodel TVs), your VCR may need to be connected in one of a variety of ways. This section shows you:

• Determining if you need a splitter,

• Connecting a regular TV to the VCR, and ° Connecting a TV with audio and video inputs.

Determiningifyou needa splitter

You should look at the back panel of your YV to see if you need

any special equipment to connect the TV to the VCR. You may need an attachment called a UHF/VHF sIJlitter (which is avail-

able at your local electronics store).

The chart on the next page will tell you if you need a splitter, and what the splitter will look like.

€ Connectinga Satellite Receiver(optional)

If you have an RCA Satellite Receiver, you can connect the receiver to your VCR. This will not only allow you to record TV

programs coming from the receiver, but it will allow you to control

the receiver through the VCR.

connectinga satellitereceiver

To connect the satellite receiver, you will need an S-Video cable and one stereo audio cable. You can purchase, these cables at your

Mitsubishi dealer or at your local electronics store.

beforeyou begin, you should:

• have completed all connections between :_our VCR, TV, and cable or antenna; (see pages 12-17) and

• make sure that your satellite receiver has been installed correctly. (See your satellite receiver's manual for more

information.)

Place the satellite receiver near your VCR so that there is an open path between the remote control sensor on the receiver

and the Converter Box Transmitter on the VCR. (The Con- verter Box Transmitter is the small window on top of the

VCR.)

_>Important:

If possible, you should have connected your VCR to your TV with an S-Video cable. Not only will this provicle you with a better

picture, but it will allow you to watch the satellite video signal on your TV even when the VCR is off. If you connect your VCR to your TV with a standard video cable, you will have to turn your

VCR on to watch the video signal from the ;satellite receiver. (You

will be able to hear the audio signal from your satellite receiver

both when the VCR is on and when it is off.)

If you want to connect a cable box with audio/video outputs to your VCR, connect it to the terminals on the front of the VCR.

When you connect a satellite receiver to the S-Video input on the

rear of the VCR, you cannot record through the standard video

input on the rear of the VCR.

ConnectingtheAN Network(optional)

Some Mitsubishi TVs and VCRs have special input and output terminals called the "A/V Network." The primary purpose of the

A/V Network is to "pass" remote control codes between Mitsubishi

components. That is, when the A/V Network is connected, you can

point your VCR remote conr,rol at the TV, and the TV will "pass" the commands on to the VCR.

Descriptions of audio functions

Below are descriptions of the audio functions, their uses and their settings.

audiomonitor

The monitor function allows you to listen to the various audio tracks that your VCR is capable of recording. You can choose to listen to a MONO track, both channels of the STERE() track, or either of the channels (left (L) and right (R)) of the stereo track.

Page 32

Chapter3:OperatingYourVCR UsingtheAudioandVideoFunctions(cont.)

Choose L to listen to the left channel of a stereo track. Choose R to listen to the right channel (Ifthe stereo track.

Choose STEREO to listen to both stereo channels. The MONO track is lower in quality tlhan the others, and

the monitor is automatically set to MONO if you are watching a tape that was not recordec[ in VHS Hi-Fi. Set

the audio monitor to MONO to hear an S.A.P. signal recorded on the mono track of a Hi-Fi tape (see below).

E>Important:

If you have your VCR connected to a surround sound system, set the audio monitor to STEREO. Surround sound requires both left and right channels to create the rear channel effects.

normal recording (NormalREC) 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 is able to receive

Separate Audio Program broadcasts, also known as an S.A.P.

broadcast. An S.A.P. broadcast, is an alternati-e audio soundtrack for a program; it is often a soundtrack in another language.

You can use the normal recording function to record the S.A.P. broadcast on the mono track by choosing "SAF." Otherwise_. choose "L+R." In either case, the main prograra is recorded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no S.A.P. broadcast, the VCR will record the main program on the mono track.

Be careful if you choose S.A.P. If you play your tapes on a non- Hi-Fi VCR, you only hear the mono track. You may have to watch your favorite show in a language you don't u_nderstandt

recordingspeed(RECspeed)

The recording speed has an effect on picture quality. SP produces the best picture quality and records up to two hours of video on a T-120 tape. Mitsubishi's EP speed has only slightly poorer qual- ity, and records up to six hours on a T-120. You can only record in SP or EP speed, but play back tapes recorded in SP, LP or EP.

recordingformat(RECformat)

This function allows you to choose between recording in standard VHS or Super-VHS (S-VHS).

tape(Tape)

Adjust this function to ensure the accur_,cy of the Tape Remain-

ing display. If you are using a tape that !s two hours long or less (labeled T-30 through T-120), set this function to "T-120." If you are using a tape labeled T-160, set the fi:mction to "T-160." If you

are using a tape labeled T-180, set the fi:Lnction to "T-180." You cannot use this function with a tape that is less than 30 minutes long, or with a tape labeled "T-210."

Intelligentpicture (I.P.Switch)

This function is used to turn on the Inr,elligent Picture (I.P.) circuitry, which automatically maximize_ picture quality. Set the switch to "ON" when playing an older tape, a poor quality tape, or rental tapes. Set it to "DUB" when you are using the HS-U760 to

using the PlusCode numbers.

A specialnote to cable

boxsubscribers

If your local cable company scrambles some or all st:ations, and/er requires you to use a cable box, then you may need to take an

extra step when using" VCR Plus+ to program your VCR.

If the HS-U760 is able to com_,rol your cable t:ox (and you have chosen "Cable box only" when you memorized chan-

nels), simply follow the instructions below.

If the HS-U760 is unable to control your ca:ble box (or you have chosen "Cable" when you memorized channels), you

will need to set all of the VCR Plus+ Channel Guides to the

channel on which your cable box sends a signal (usually channel 3 or 4). Then, when you program, leave your cable

box turned ON, tuned to the channol you wish to record.

If you have difficulty recording, your cable compare.7 may be able to suggest an alternative hook-up method that will allow you to use VCR Plus+ without leaving the cable box on, or they may be able to provide additional solutions Contact them iOr more help.

Remember that when your VCR is off, it may also be in stand-by for programmed recording. Also remember that the VCR, when programmed, will record over the next section oJ' tape. So, to ,avoid recording over tapes you want tc save, remember that the VCR

automatically shuts off during OTR recording and "rewind & off."

Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure preven- tion tab removed (see "Preventing accidental er_.sure"). All rental

movies have this tab removed, so they are safe f!:om being acci- dentally erased.

autospeedprogramming

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 ph_y (EP) if there is not enough tape left.

Auto speed programming is only available in the-_first program- ming slot. In this first slot, the recording speed is automatically

SearchingTechniques

The VCR lets you search through a tape i:n a number of ways. These include:

• Quick searching,

• Edit searching,

• Speed searching,

• Searching by time,

• Searching for a blank portion of tape, and

• Index search techniques.

Quicksearching

This feature lets you search through the tape you are playing in

30 second intervals. It is de_,;igned so that you can quickly speed through any commercials you may have recorded.

," ; ,° "; ;, o.. o°: ;°... °°:

O While playing a tape, press the Q.V. b_Ltton. The VCR will

speed through 30 seconds of tape, then resume playback.

O Press the Q.V. button again for an add:tional 30 second

interval of quick search. You can press Q.V. up to 4 times, for a quick search total of 2 minutes. The quick search time is indicated on the fluore,;cent display.

Edit searching

Edit search is very useful for editing out commercials if you are recording a program while you are watching it. It is also useful as a general editing feature. This feature is sometimes called EE

(electronic-to-electronic) editing. This function works only when

you are in "record-pause" mode.

During record pause, press the FF or REW button or use the

shuttle ring to locate the point where, you want to resume

recording.

When you find the point where you want to continue record- ing (e.g. the last frame before the commercial), stop operating

the buttons or shuttle ring. After 3 seconds, the VCR will return to record pause; you will see the live picture.

_Important:

Press the PAUSE button (NOT the REC button) to resume recording (when the commercials are o,rer).

Edit search will begin any time you are in record-pause and

operate the REW or FF buttons or the shuttle ring. Edit search will end after 3 seconds of not using the bu';tons or shuttle ring.

Speedsearching

You can use speed search to visually sear'ct:: through the contents of a videotape. To do this:

While playing a tape, press FF or REW button on the remote

control. You will see the picture as it fa_t forwards or rewinds.

It is normal to see some "noise bars."

If you press the FF or REW button and hold it down for about

1 second, the search speed will increase.

To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again quickly, or press PLAY.

The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is about 30 times normal speed. Using fast forward or rewind without the picture allows you to search up to 200 times normal speed. The fastest way to move through tlhe tape is without a

picture. 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.

Page 62

Chapter4: UsingtheAdvancedFeatures Sea;chingTechniques(cont.)

spotcheck

This feature allows you to visually check the position of the tape

during fast forward or rewind.

I01 While the tape is in fast t_)rward or rewind (without picture),

press and hold either the FF or REW button (whichew_r is the

same as what the tape is doing).

O After a short delay, you will see the contents of the videotape,

still in speed search. The picture will sr,ay on the screen as long as you hold clown the button.

O When you release the button, the tape will resume fast

forwarding or rewinding without a picture.

Searchingbytime

You can use the time counter to search to a specific point on a tape. You can search in one of two ways:

• You can search to a certain point, measured from tlhe beginning of the tape.

• You can search to a certain point, rne_!.sured from tlhe current position on the tape. (You cannot search further

than "9h59m59s" in either direction.)

Indexsearchtechniques

Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before

using index search, index marks are placed at important places on a tape. Then, index search is 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.

MakingaCopyofa Tape

There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape. One way is to use the HS-U760 to play a tape and use another VCR to record. The other way is to use another VCR to play a tape and the

HS-U760 to record.

Whichever method you choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and one RCA video cable (or one S-Video cable) to connect the two

VCRs. If you do not have these cables, they are available at your local electronics retailer. In this section you'll learn:

• Using your HS-U760 to record from another VCR,

• Using your HS-U760 to play back to another VCR, and

• Using edit control.
