,_CHAPTER TWO

ConnectingYourVCR

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 that apply to your eqmpment.

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.

Connecting the Antennaor Cable to the V,3R

$ Connecting the Television

Connecting the AN Network(optional)

$ConnectingtheAntennaor Cableto the VCR

The first thing you need to do is connect the antenna or cable.

Because there are at least three different tyt:es of antennas, this

chapter will show how to connect all of them. You don't need to

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 Lhe Television."

This section shows you:

•Connecting cable antennas,

• Connecting other antennas, and

• Connecting separate UHF/VHF antennas.

Connectingcableantennas

If you have cable TV, this is the only antenna you need to hook

up. Because some cable companies require a cable box (for un-

scrambling cable signals), there are two ki:nds of cable connec-

tions shown: with and without a cable box.

connectingcablewithoutacablebox

Find the "source" cable. [t usually come,; out of the floor or out

of a wall. If it is connected to your TV, disconnect it.

Connect the cable to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the back

of your VCR. Screw or posh the cable or=to the terminal until

it is tight.

When you are finished, go to page 15, "C'onnecting the Televi-

sion."

Chapter2:ConnectingYourVCR ConnectingtheAntennaorCableto theVCR(cont.)

connectingcablewitha cablebox,if all channelsarescrambled

If your cable system scrambles all of its channels, follow the

directions below to connect your cable box to ygur VCR:

q[]) Disconnect the cable box from the TV.

Connect the cable coming from the cable b_x to the AN-.

TENNA IN terminal on the back of your VCR. Screw oz' push

the cable onto the terminal until it is tight.

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

If your cable company scrambles all of its channels, you cannot

record one channel while watching another.

connectingcablewitha cablebox,if onlysomechannelsarescrambled

If your cable company only requires the use of a cable box tbr

some channels, we suggest using the following connections. This

connection will allow you to watch one non-scrambled channel

while you record another non-scrambled channel.

Beforeyoubegin,youwillneed:

•a cable splitter,

• four lengths of co-axial ,:able, and

• a cable A/B switch.

O Find the "source" cable; it usually comes out of the wall[ or the

floor. If it is connected to your cable box, disconnect it.

Connect the source cable to the "in" terminal on the cable

splitter.

O Connect one end of a coaxial cable to an "out" terminal on the

splitter. Connect the other end of this cat:le to the "A-IN"

terminal on the AJ]3 switch.

Connect one end of the second coaxial cable to the other "out"

terminal on the splitter. Connect the other end of this cable to

the "ANTENNA IN" terminal on the cabl_ box.

Connect the third coaxial ,:able to the "ANTENNA OUT"

terminal on the cable box. Connect the other end of this cable

to the "B-IN" terminal on the A/B switch.

Connectingotherantennas

If you don't have cable TV, you'll need to connect a regular an-

tenna. 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."

connectingan antennawitha300-ohrnflat twin lead

(If you have a 300-ohm flat twin lead, you will need to purchase a

300-75 ohm adapter at your local hardware or electronics store.)

0 Disconnect the antenna t_om the back of the TV.

0Before 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).

This chart will help you determine the kind ot: combiner you need.

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 asplitter

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 avail-

able at your local electronics store). The chart below will tell you

if you need a splitter, and what the splitter will look like.

If the TV's antenna terminal

Connecting aTV with audioandvideo 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.

Before you begin this section:

• You should have already completed the section "Connecting

an older TV to the VCR."

)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 Mitsu-

bishi TV. If not, you can purchase a cable _ith mini jacks at your

Mitsubishi dealer or an electronics store.

,ProgrammingtheVCRtoReceiveTVChannels

Before your VCR can receive television channels, you need to

program all of the channels you can receive into your VCR.

Fortunately, our menu system makes this an easy process. This

section will also explain some other channel-related functions.

This section explains:

• Programming channels automatically,

• Using video mute,

•Adding and deleting channels, and

• Selecting a channel.

Programming channelsautomatically

Using this process, your VCR will automatically memorize in all

of the television stations you can receive. You can later get rid of

unwanted or unused stations.

Aspecialnote to

cableboxsubscribers If your local cable box company scrambles some or all stations,

and/or requires you to use a came box, then your abiBty to pro-

gram channels will be limited. The cable box receives all of your

channels and then sends only one to your '.I__(and your VCR),

usually on channel 3 or 4.

If your cable box or came system seems incompatiMe with your

new VCR, call .your came company. They may be able to provide

solutions to your problems.

channels.

UsingtheAudioandVideoFunctions

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.

The audio and video functions you can se]ecr_ are:

-- audio monitor,

-- normal record,

-- record speed,

-- tape,

-- index search,

--counter zero stop,

--repeat playback, and

-- PerfecTape.

Descriptionsof audioandvideofunctions

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

_Important:

tracks that your VCR is capable of recording. You can choose to

listen to a MONO track, both channels of the STEREO track, or

either 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).

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. broad-

cast, 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 Sepa-

rate Audio Program broadcasts, also known as an S.A.P. broad-

cast. 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." Other-

wise, choose "Stereo." In either case, the maiin program is re-

corded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no S.A.P. broad-

cast, 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 _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 qual-

ity, and records up to six hours on a T-120.

tape_Tape)

Adjust this function to ensure the accuracy of the Tape Remain-

ing 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.

Chapter3: OperatingYourVCR Usingthe AudioandVideoFunctions(cont.)

index search (Index search)

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

(For more information on this feature, please see page 53.)

counterzerostop(Counterzerostop)

This function is used to automatically fast fbrward or rewind to

"0H00M00S" and stop the tape. (For more information on this

immediately see the "Program to record" menu and can begin

programming right away.

You can use this feature even when the VCR is ,;topped, playing,

recording, fast forwarding, rewinding, or off. However, the:

QUICK PROGRAM button does not. function during One Key

Programming.

Quick Program is also an "Active AJ_ Network" feature. If you

have a Mitsubishi TV with Active A!V Network, see page 56 for

more information.

To use quick program:

OPress the QUICK PROGRAM button on the remote control. If

the VCR is off, it will turn on. After tuning )'our TV to the

correct channel or input, you will see the "Program to record"

screen, unless the VCR's memory is full.

If the VCR's memory is full, you will see the recap screen

(below left) instead of the "Program to record" screen. You. will

need to use the CANCEL button to erase an entry before you

can add another one.

OComplete programming as described in "]?rogramming your

VCR to record." When you are finished:, press the QUICK

PROGRAM button again. If the VCR is sl:opped, it will turn

off and be ready to record your program at a later time. If the

VCR is playing, recording, fast forwarding or rewinding, the

menus will turn off, but the VCR power will remain on.

When you are finished with all programming, be sure the

VCR power is OFF and the programmed recording light i,_ lit.

However, if you have a cable box, leave it turned ON and

tuned to the station you wish to record. Additionally, ifyc,u

are using an A/B switch, remember to ,;et the switch to the

correct position.

If you press the QUICK PROGRAM button, but the clock is not

set, you will see the "Set the clock" menu. If you have set the A/V

Network to ACTIVE, you should point your remote control at the

television when using Quick Program.

Notesabout programmedrecording

You cannot use the VCR when the programmed recording light is

lit. If you want to use the VCR before programmed recording

begins, press the POWER button on the remote once. This turns

the programmed recording light off and the VCR on.

If you use the POWER button on the front panel for this purpose,

you will have to press it twice. Pressing it once turns off the

programmed recording light; pressing it a second time turns t:_e

VCR on.

When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off

again, either with the POWER button on tile remote or the

POWER button on the front panel. Make sure the programmed

recording light is back on.

After a program has been recorded, the VCR memory 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 programrning

to record (unless you are programming with the QUICK PRO-

GRAM button). If the VCR's memory is full, you must era,;e a

program before you can enter a new one.

If a tape runs out during programmed recording, the VCR ejects

the tape and the programmed recording light and the tape status

symbol will flash. Load a new tape and press the REC button. The

VCR will resume recording. Do not overlap the recording times

you program.

Remember that when your VCR is off, it may also be in stand-by

for programmed recording. Also remember 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 preven-

tion tab removed (see "Preventing accidental erasure"). All rental

movies have this tab removed, so they are sa_e fl"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 vcar_Lt

the VCR to automatically switch to extended play (EP) if there is

not enough tape left.

SearchingTechniques

The VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways.

These include:

• Quick searching,

• Speed searching,

• Using counter zero stop, and

• Index search techniques.

Quicksearching

This feature lets you skip over the tape you a_e playing in about

30 second intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed

through any commercials you may have recorded.

Chapter4:Usingthe AdvancedFeatures Seal:chingTechniques(cont.)

To do this:

O Make sure that you have set the TV/VCR slide switch on the

remote control to the "VCR" position.

_>Important:

You can set the search time up to 3 minutes.

Speedsearching

You can use speed search to visually search t!hrough the contents

of a videotape. To do this:

OWhile playing a tape, press the FF or REW button on 1;he

front panel or on the remote control. You wi}l see the picture

as it fast forwards or rewinds. It is normal to see some "noise

bars."

OIf you are playing back a tape recorded i_ extended (EP)

MakingaCopyofaTape

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.
