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

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

make all the connections.
First, find out what kind of antenna you
have. Then, make the connection for that type of antenna. You
can then go to the next sectic,n, "Connecting

Connectingotherantennas
If you don't have cable TV, you'll need to connect a regular antenna. Your antenna may have one of two different kind of ends
(called "leads") on it.
The two kinds of leads are:
300-ohm flat twin leads
that look like this ... :

... or a 75.-o1-rn round lead
that looks like this:

Follow the procedures
for connecting the kin3 of leads your
antenna has, then go to page 15, "Connecting
the Television."

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 plastic covering. Sometimes these leads have "U" shaped
clips that fit around the screw, in which case you will not
need to peel back the plastic.

Connectingseparate UHFNHF antennas
You may have two separate ar_tennas (one UHF, one VHF) that
bring TV signals into your home. If you do, you'll need to combine
the two antennas
before connecting them to tt_e VCR. To do this,
you'll need an attachment
called a combiner (which is available at
your electronics store).

Connecting the Television
Now that you have completed the antenna connections
to your
VCR, you're ready to connect the VCR to the ]_V. (If you haven't
connected the antenna to the VCR, go to page 11, "Connecting
the
Antenna or Cable to the VCR.") Because e_e_y television is
different (especially older model TVs), your ¥CR may need to be
connected in one of a variety of ways. This section shows you:
• Determining
if'you need a splitter,
• Connecting
an older TV to the VCR, and
• Connecting
a _ with audio and video inputs.

Determiningif you need a splitter
You should look at the back panel of your rFV to see if you need
any special equipment
to connect the TV to the VCR. You may
need an attachment
called a UHF/VHF splitter (which is available at your local electronics store). The chart below will tell you
if you need a splitter, and what the splitter will look like.

TERMINALS

Take the black cable (called a coaxial cable) that is supplied
with your VCR and attach Jt to the termin_,l labeled ANTENNA OUT on the back of your VCR.

Connect the other end of this cable to the terminal on your TV
labeled ANTENNA IN. This terminal is sometimes also called
"ANT-IN" or 'WHF IN." If you have an older TV without this
kind of terminal, you will have to use a spl:tter and then
connect the splitter' to the television.

If you have a TV with audio and video inpt:ts, you should
proceed to the next section, "Connecting

Connecting a TV with audio and video inputs
Your new VCR can be connected to many diffe::ent types of
televisions.
Because you purchased
a Hi-Fi VCR, you will want to
take advantage
of its superior sound capability and connect it to a
stereo TV system with audio and video inputs.

) Connectingthe A/V 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 control at the TV, a:ad the TV will "pass"
the commands on to the VCR.
To connect the A/V Network, you will need a cable with a "mini"
jack at both ends. (A mini jack is the kind you find on headphones
for personal stereos.) A cable may be included with your Mitsubishi TV. If not, you can purchase a cable _ith mini jacks at your
Mitsubishi dealer or an electronics store.

Chapter2: ConnectingYourVCR

To connect

the A/V Network:

If you have another Mitsubishi
componer:t equipped with A/V

UsingtheAudioand VideoFunctions
You can select many of the VCR's audio and video functions and
adjust their settings with function menu. You carl also choose
some advanced features. The VCR will display the functions and
settings on the television's
screen.
This section will teach you about:
• Descriptions
of audio and video functions, ;and
• Selecting and adjusting the audio and video functions.

Descriptionsof audio and videofunctions
Below are descriptions
of the audio and video functions, their uses
and their settings. To select these functions and adjust their
settings, refer to the section "Selecting and adjusting the audio
and video functions." (See page 34.)
audiomonitor(Listento:)
The monitor function allows you to listen

to tile various

audio

tracks
listen
either
•

that your VCR is capable of recording. You can choose to
to a MONO track, both channels of the STEREO track, or
of the channels (left (L) and right (R)) of the stereo track.
Choose "L" to listen to the left channel of a stereo track

• Choose "R" to listen to the right channel of the stereo track.
• Choose "Stereo" to listen to both stereo channels.
• The MONO track is lower in quality than the others, and
the monitor is automatically
set to "Mono" if you are
watching a tape that was not recorded 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).

_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.
If you are receiving a stereo signal, the word "Stereo" will display
on TV screen for 4 seconds. If you are receiving a S.A.P. broadcast, the word "SAP" will display on TV screen tbr 4 seconds.
normalrecording(Record:)
When your VCR is recording, it actually record,,; 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 alternative
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 "Stereo + SAP." Otherwise, choose "Stereo." In either case, the maiin program 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 nonHi-Fi VCR, you only hear the mono track. You may have to watch
your favorite show in a language you don't _mderstand!
recording speed (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 quality, and records up to six hours on a T-120.
tape_Tape)
Adjust this function to ensure the accuracy of the Tape Remaining display. If you are using a tape that is two hours long or less
(labeled T-30 through T-120), set this functi.on to "T-120." If you
are using a tape labeled T-160, select "T-160." If you are using a
tape labeled T-180, select "T-180." If you are using a tape labeled
T-210, select "T-210." You cannot use this function with a tape
that is less than 30 minutes long.

that the VCR, wh_,n
programmed,
will record over the next section of tape. So, to avoid
recording over tapes you want to save, remember that the VCR
automatically
shuts off during OTR recording and auto power
saving.
•
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure prevention tab removed (see "Preventing
accidental erasure"). All rental
movies have this tab removed, so they are sa_e fl"om being accidentally erased.

The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is
about 15 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 the tape is without a
picture. It is normal ibr the number of noise bars on the screen to
increase and roll from top to bottom as the visual search speed
increases.

Makinga Copyof a Tape
There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape. One way is to
use the HS-U520 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-U520 to record.
Whichever method you choose, you will need one RCA audio cable
and one RCA 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-U520 to record from another VCR, and
• Using your HS-U520 to play back to another VCR.
