Hooking UpYour VCR
Connections to A/V Network
Some Mitsubishi TVs andVCRs have special input and output terminals called the A/V Network. This network “passes” remote control commands between Mitsubishi components. That is, when the A/V Network is connected, you can point yourVCR remote control at the TV, and the TV will “pass” the commands onto the VCR.
1You will need a cable with a “mini” jack at both ends. A mini jack is the kind you find on headphones for personal stereos. This cable may be included with your Mitsubishi TV. If not, you can purchase a cable with mini jacks at your Mitsubishi dealer or electronics store.
2Connect ACTIVE A/V NETWORK OUT or A/V NETWORK OUT on the TV to ACTIVE A/V NETWORK IN on the VCR.
3If you have another Mitsubishi component with A/V Network, connect another mini jack cable to ACTIVE A/V NETWORK OUT on the VCR, and connect the other end to (ACTIVE) A/V NETWORK IN on the other component.

Setting UpYour VCR
The first thing you need to do is set up your VCR so that you can see the picture coming from the VCR. It’s important to take a few minutes to set up your VCR correctly before you try to use it. Based on your type of TV, choose one of the following:
TV with Audio/ Video Inputs
1Turn on your TV and switch it to the correct external input. For most Mitsubishi TVs, this means pressing the TV’s INPUT button until you see the words Ext-1 or Input-1 on the screen. If you do not have a Mitsubishi TV, please refer to your TV Owner’s Guide for this procedure.
2Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.
3You are now watching theVCR’s picture. To go back to viewing the picture from the TV, press theTV’s INPUT button to go back to the previous ANTENNA input position.
4Later, you should turn the RF converter OFF by following instructions on page 49.
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 theVCR’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
1To choose channel 4; with VCR power OFF, press CHANNEL ª and REC SPEED on the front panel at the same time. 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 theVCR turned OFF, press CHANNEL º and REC SPEED on the front panel at the same time. Ant ch 3 will display.
2 Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER. operating
3Check to see if theVCR 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 49.
4Turn on the TV and change the TV to the video channel (3 or 4). You are now watching theVCR’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.

Setting UpYour VCR
Your VCR comes with Mitsubishi’s exclusive
on-screen operating system. This system has been developed to simplify the operation of yourVCR with clear, understandable language and design.
Before yourVCR can receive television channels or you can program yourVCR to record, you need to memorize all of the channels you can receive into your VCR and set the clock. Additionally, if you are using a satellite receiver, you need to do a first time setup to memorizing satellite brand code. 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.
You need to manually set the brand code for the a satellite receiver.
If your local cable company scrambles some or all stations, and/or requires you to use a cable box, then your ability to memorize 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 you are required to use a cable box, you should choose Cable box only or Digital Cable box only option in step 4 on the next page and turn the cable box on. Your HS-U776 will use its Converter Box Control technology to change the channels on the cable box. Make sure you have properly placed the IR Emitter (see page 9).
If your cable box or cable system seems incompatible with your newVCR, call your cable company. They may be able to provide solutions to your problems.
1Set the VCR’s input to tuner. To do this, press INPUT on the remote control until a channel number appears on the screen or on the front panel display.
2Press 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.
3Press ENTER. First Time Set-Up menu will appear. Press the ADJUST buttons to select Memorize channels. Press ENTER.
IMPORTANT
If you are recording or playing back a tape, Not available will flash and an error message will appear. To correct this, stop the tape.

4You will see the menu for sources connected to the VCR. Using the list below as a reference, press the ADJUST buttons to select the kind of antenna you connected.
•Cable if you have standard cable service without a cable box, use a cable box with an A/B switch, or your cable box is not remote controllable
•Cable box only if you use a standard cable box
•Digital cable box only if you use a digital cable box
•Indoor/outdoor ant. if you use rabbit ears type or roof mounted type antennas
After you have selected, press ENTER.
If you choose Cable or Indoor/outdoor ant.
An on-screen message and the front panel display of your VCR will show you that the VCR is memorizing the stations you can receive. After theVCR has memorized all the channels, the screen will return theVCR’s picture.
If you choose Cable box only or Digital cable box only
You need to tell theVCR which manufacturer makes your cable box or digital cable box, and on which channel the cable box or digital cable box sends a signal.

5Brand code will be highlighted. Press the ADJUST buttons or the number buttons to select the manufacturer’s code number for your cable box or digital cable box. The codes are listed on the next page.
6To determine if the Brand code is correct, press CHANNEL on the remote. The channel number on the front panel display should change. Then your cable box or digital cable box should change to the exact same number a moment after it appears on your VCR.
If your cable box or digital cable box does not change channels at all, or does not show the exact same number, try the next Brand code, if another is listed for your type of cable box or digital cable box. Also make sure the IR emitter bulb faces the IR window on the cable box .
If no code number is listed for your cable box, or if none of the listed numbers work, try each code from 1 to 94.
If your cable box or digital cable box cannot be operated by a remote control (if it has a mechanical dial or slide), then your VCR will not be able to change channels on the cable box.
If your cable box will not respond to any of the codes, your VCR cannot change channels on the cable box. You will need to change channels yourself, using the cable box’s remote control. You should re-program yourVCR, choosing Cable in step 4. When programming to record, you will need to leave your cable box ON and tuned to the channel you wish to record.
7When the Brand code is correct, press ENTER. The screen will add a Channel selection.
8Use the ADJUST buttons to select the channel on which your cable box or digital cable box sends a signal to the VCR (normally channel 3 or 4). If you connected your cable box or digital cable box with audio/video cables, use INPUT to select L1 (if you used the rear panel jacks), or L2 (if you used the front panel jacks). You cannot use both digital cable box and satellite receiver. Thus if you selected Digital cable box only in step 4, you cannot select L2.

Setting the Clock
You have to set the clock using either Setting the Auto Clock or Setting the Clock Manually before you can program your VCR to record.
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.
1Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will appear.
2Press 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.
3You will see the Set the clock menu. Clock set will be highlighted. Press the ADJUST buttons to select AUTO.
4Turn 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 theVCR displays the wrong time. (See the next page.)
IMPORTANT
When you memorized channels, if you chose Cable box only or Digital cable box only, make sure you leave the cable box or digital cable box on. At 3:00 am, when the VCR power is off, theVCR will begin to automatically change channels on the cable box, one by one, to set the clock. At this time you cannot use the cable box.
If you want to use the cable box at 3:00 am, turn on the VCR or set the Clock set of the Set the clock menu to MANUAL. In both cases, auto clock function will be canceled.
When you memorized channels, if you chose Cable or Indoor/ outdoor ant., theVCR will set the clock as soon as you turn off the VCR, and at 3:00 am.
After a power failure, theVCR will automatically set the clock again. (If you have set the Clock set setting of the Set the clock menu to MANUAL, the auto clock function will not work.)
