Setting Up Your VCR
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. 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 JOG/SHUTTLE control on the remote
control, not the front panel. Use the ADJUST dial to move the highlight bar up or
down and to change the setting of selected features. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to
the right to enter a selection or adjustment (the ENTER button may also be used
for this). Turn the shuttle ring to the left to cancel or clear a setting (the CANCEL
button may also be used for this).
Turn left
to Cancel
ADJUST
Turn right
to Enter
Using AllSet™ to Set Up Your VCR Automatically
AllSet will automatically set the clock, memorize all of the television stations
available to you and set the VCR Plus+® guide channel numbers.
You need to manually set the brand code for the 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 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.
A special note to cable box
subscribers
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-HD2000U 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 new VCR, call
your cable company. They may be able to provide solutions to your problems.
Make sure you are viewing the picture coming from your VCR. Press MENU
on the remote control. VCR Main Menu comes up. If First Time Set-Up is not
highlighted, use the ADJUST dial on the remote to highlight it.
Turn the shuttle ring on the remote control to the right. First Time Set-Up menu
will appear. AllSet will be highlighted. Turn the shuttle ring to the right.
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.
You will see the AllSet explanation screen. Turn the shuttle ring to the right.

• 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, turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.
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 the VCR has programmed all the channels, you will see the screen for entering the zip code. Go to
step 10 in this section.
If you choose Cable box only or Digital cable box only
You need to tell the VCR which manufacturer makes your cable box or digital cable
box, and on which channel the cable box or digital cable box sends a signal.
Brand code will be highlighted. Turn the ADJUST dial or press the number
buttons to select the manufacturer’s code number for your cable box or digital
cable box. The codes are listed below.

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. (For digital cable box, code numbers 3 to 5 are not
functional.)
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 your VCR, 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.

Setting Up Your VCR
When the Brand code is correct, turn the shuttle ring to the right. The screen
will add a Channel selection.
Use the ADJUST dial 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.
After entering the channel number, turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. The
VCR will begin memorizing the available channels. During this process your
TV screen, the front panel display, and your cable box or digital cable box
should all display each channel number one by one.

The VCR will begin to search for a channel that carries a time signal to set the
clock. If the VCR can find the channel, it will set the clock. You can see if the clock
has been set on the front panel display of your VCR.
The clock setting set up time varies, it may take up to 30 minutes as the VCR
searches one by one for a channel that carries a time signal.
If the VCR will not set the clock (the current time display still shows –:– –), see
Setting the Clock on page 20.
11 Once the VCR has set the clock, it shows the message indicating that the first
step is completed. Then, press POWER to turn off the VCR and leave the
VCR off for the night. The full set-up will be completed overnight (from about
Midnight to 7:00AM).
During this time, the VCR will search for a channel that carries data to set the
VCR Plus+® guide channel numbers for your area and then check the guide
channel number against the channel number you receive in your home and
select the correct lineup automatically.

This message is displayed when there is more than one cable company servicing
your zip code area. In these situations, there will be more than one channel lineup
and your VCR may not be able to identify which is the correct lineup for your home.
To select the correct channel lineup:
Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. You will see the first lineup screen,
Lineup1, which will show selected key stations.
• Guide column shows the selected stations’ call letters or network name.

following reasons:
• You entered an invalid zip code for your area. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the
right to return to the zip code screen and re-enter the correct zip code. Try
the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am the next day.
• You entered a new zip code that AllSet is not ready to use. Turn the shuttle
ring to the right to return to the zip code screen and re-enter your old zip
code. Try the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am the
next day.
• You turned on the VCR and interrupted the AllSet procedure before it was
complete. AllSet completes the setup normally between midnight and 7:00
am. Try the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am the
next day.
• AllSet information is not broadcast in your area. You will need to set the VCR

Setting the Clock
If your clock is set correctly, skip this section.
If your VCR cannot set the clock automatically in the AllSet™ procedure, 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.
Press MENU on the remote control. VCR Main Menu will appear.
Turn the ADJUST dial to select First Time Set-Up. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to

Audio monitor (Listen to):
This allows you to listen to the various audio tracks that your VCR is capable of
recording.
• Choose Stereo to listen to both stereo channels.
• Choose L to listen to the left channel of a stereo track.
• Choose R to listen to the right channel of a stereo track.
• Mono track is lower in quality than the others. The audio 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 SAP signal recorded on
the mono track of a Hi-Fi tape.
IMPORTANT
Surround Sound systems: 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 (Record):
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 can receive Separate Audio Program (SAP) broadcasts. A SAP broadcast is an alternative soundtrack for a program; it is often a sound track in another
language. The SAP broadcast is recorded only on the mono track.
Use the normal recording function to record the SAP broadcast on the mono track
by choosing Stereo+SAP. Otherwise, choose Stereo. In either case, the main
program is recorded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no SAP broadcast,
the VCR will record the main program on the mono track.

Mitsubishi offers 6 ways to set your VCR to record upcoming broadcasts. Choose
from:
D-VHS Timer Recording
Analog Timer Recording of Digital Broadcast
VCR Plus+® system programming (easy)
On LCD reserve
Conventional VCR timer recording
Quick Program (easy) -- VCR does not need to be on to begin programming
You can schedule up to 8 recording events within a one month period.
Clock must be set before any timer recordings can be performed.
D-VHS Timer Recording
To set the timer recording of the digital broadcast in D-VHS format, set the timer
program on the integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver, not on
the VCR. Refer to your TV or receiver owner’s guide.
Follow the steps 1 to 5 of Setting Up Your VCR to Playback/Recording the
Digital Broadcast in D-VHS format on page 12.
Load a D-VHS tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
Make sure that the D-VHS button on the front panel is lit. If not, press this
button until it lights up.
Press POWER on the VCR front panel or on the remote control to turn off the
VCR.
Set the timer recording on the integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV
receiver. Refer to your TV or receiver owner’s guide for this procedure.
The integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver will receive the program
to be recorded on the start time you have set and send the signal for start recording to
the VCR. The VCR will start recording automatically. The integrated HDTV or IEEE
1394-equipped HDTV receiver will send the signal for stop recording to the VCR on
the end time you have set, and the VCR will stop recording automatically.
IMPORTANT
The recording mode will be changed automatically depending on the
broadcasting signal.
Depending on your integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver,
the programmed D-VHS recording may not be recorded if you turn on the
VCR while it is in stand-by mode for the D-VHS timer recording.
The programmed D-VHS timer recording may not be recorded correctly
depending on your integrated HDTV or IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver.
When you connect more than one integrated HDTVs or IEEE 1394-equipped
HDTV receivers, the D-VHS timer recording of only one integrated HDTV or
IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver will be activated. In this case, press
INPUT on the VCR remote to set the VCR’s input to tuner or press IEEE
1394 INPUT to select d1 to d5 which corresponds to the receiver or TV you
would like to record.

Copying a tape from analog to analog
There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape from analog to analog.
One way is to use the HS-HD2000U to record and another VCR for playback.
The other way is to use another VCR to record and use the HS-HD2000U for playback.
Regardless of which method you may choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and one S-video cable to connect the
two VCRs. You can use either a standard RCA video cable or an S-video cable. If you do not have these cables, they
are available at your local electronics dealer. The highest quality is achieved through an S-video cable.
Using the HS-HD2000U to record from another VCR
Connect the audio cable to AUDIO OUT L and R on
the playback VCR and to AUDIO IN L and R on the
HS-HD2000U. If the playback VCR is mono, use
only the AUDIO IN L on the HS-HD2000U.
Put a blank tape into the HS-HD2000U. If you are
recording in S-VHS, be sure to use an S-VHS tape.

IMPORTANT
The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is about 30 times
normal speed. 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.
Using speed search for long stretches of tape may cause the video heads to
become dirty faster.
The fastest way to move through the tape is without a picture, which allows
you to search up to 500 times normal speed. To do this, press STOP, then
FF or REW. If you press and hold FF or REW for more than 2 seconds, the
search speed will slow to 330 times normal speed.
In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads, the Fast Forwarding/
Rewinding Speed will be slower than 500x under the following conditions:
1 Use of tapes shorter in length than T-120 (for example, T-30, T-60, T-90).
2 Activating fast forwarding or rewinding from the middle of the tape.
Speed search may not work correctly when playing a tape recorded in both
analog and digital format.
Notes for the program recorded in D-VHS format:
• When you use speed search for the program recorded without recording
the search data, the speed search may not work correctly or the picture
may not appear.
• It will take a few seconds to see the speed search picture.
• The mosaic noise, still or black picture may appear during using the
speed search.
• The speed search picture may not appear depending on the digital
program.

Using the remote control to operate your TV
The HS-HD2000U remote control can operate many of the frequently-used functions of your TV. You only need one remote to operate both your VCR and TV.
The HS-HD2000U remote control is pre-set to operate Mitsubishi televisions, but it
can also operate TVs from other manufacturers. To set your remote control for
your particular brand of television, follow these instructions.
setting up your remote control to operate your TV
Turn off your TV.
On the HS-HD2000U remote control, set the VCR/TV slide switch to the TV
position.
While holding in SP/EP, press the code listed that corresponds to the brand of
your TV.
Press TV POWER on the HS-HD2000U remote control. Once your TV has
turned on, your remote is set up to operate your brand of TV.
If your TV does not turn on, repeat step 3 using the next code listed for the brand of
your TV.
If none of the codes listed for the brand of your TV work, then repeat step 3 several
times, using a different code button until one works. The possible code buttons
are: 0, 1-9, MUTE, VOLUME ª,º, CHANNELª,º and INPUT.
You do not need to perform this set-up again until you change the batteries, set up
your remote for another brand of television, or you get a new TV.
Once you have correctly set your remote control to operate your TV, you will be
able to use the TV POWER, CHANNEL, VOLUME, and number buttons to operate
your TV.
IMPORTANT
Because of variations among models, some or all codes may not work, or
they may operate different functions than expected for your particular TV. If
this occurs, you may need to use your TV remote control.
Sometimes manufacturers will change the remote control codes for their
products, or they will use more than one code. If this is the case, your
remote may not be able to control your TV.
When you replace the batteries in your remote, the remote may return to its
initial setting (code button 1). Repeat the steps above to reset your remote
control. If you enter a new code, the previous code will be erased.
operating your TV with the HS-HD2000U remote control
Set the VCR/TV slide switch to TV position on the HS-HD2000U remote control
to tell the remote that you want to operate the TV.
Point the remote control towards the TV and press the desired buttons. To
once again control the VCR, set the VCR/TV slide switch to VCR position.

To program the remote control operational setting
The HS-HD2000U has two remote control operational settings, VCR-A and VCR-B.
These are available so you may separately control two Mitsubishi VCRs that are
placed close together. The VCR-A setting can be used to operate any other
Mitsubishi VCR introduced since 1986. Setting the HS-HD2000U to VCR-B will
allow the HS-HD2000U be operated without the VCR responding at the same time.
To program the HS-HD2000U and the remote to VCR-B
For VCR:
Make sure the HS-HD2000U is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front
panel, turn the shuttle ring left while holding down SP/EP on the front panel. To
confirm that the VCR responds to VCR-B signals, b appears on the front panel
display.
For remote:
On the remote, make sure the VCR/TV slide switch is in the VCR position, then
press VCR-A/B on the remote control until VCR-B appears on the remote
control LCD.
When you wish to operate the other VCR
On the remote, with the VCR/TV slide switch in the VCR position, press VCRA/B on the remote control until VCR-A appears on the remote control LCD.
To reprogram the HS-HD2000U to respond to VCR-A signals again
Make sure the HS-HD2000U is plugged in but turned off. On the VCR front
panel, turn the shuttle ring right while holding down SP/EP on the front panel.
To confirm that the VCR responds to VCR-A signals, A appears on the front
panel display.
IMPORTANT
Some other models of Mitsubishi VCRs can respond to VCR-B signals. If
your other VCR is one of these models, and you would like to program the
other VCR to respond to VCR-B signals, refer to the owner’s guide that came
with the other VCR.
Some of the buttons may not function or they may operate different features
than expected for the other VCR, particularly, those Mitsubishi VCR’s that are
more than 10 years old because Mitsubishi changes the codes from time to
time.
Child Lock
The child lock feature prevents others from using your VCR. To lock the VCR:
Press and hold down DISPLAY on the remote control for about 8 seconds. The
LOCK light on the front panel display will light up.
To cancel the child lock, press and hold down DISPLAY for about 8 seconds,
until the LOCK light on the front panel display goes out.

Important Information
Special Information Concerning Stationary Images or Letterbox Images:
For best performance and longest life, the normal use of a TV should include a mixture of TV picture types. The most
frequently used picture types should fill the screen with constantly moving images rather than stationary images or
patterns. Displaying the same stationary patterns over extended periods of time, or displaying the same stationary
patterns frequently, can cause uneven aging of the TV picture tubes and leave a subtle, but permanent, ghost image.
Most TV warranties do not cover this type of damage to the picture tubes. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern. Do
not show the same stationary image for more than 15% of your total TV viewing in any one week. Display constantly
moving and changing images that fill the screen whenever possible. We also recommend that you reduce the contrast
setting of your TV when you watch that type of image. When possible, you may wish to use your television’s PIP, POP,
ZOOM, EXPAND or other picture shape controls so that the moving images fill the screen.
Please check your TV’s owner’s guide for other recommendations.
Examples of stationary images include:
• Letterbox top/bottom bars. These are solid colored bars that when showing a widescreen (16:9) image on a
standard (4:3) TV.
• Side panels. These are the solid colored side bars when showing standard shaped (4:3) TV images on a widescreen
(16:9) TV.
• Stock-market report bars. These include the ticker bar constantly running at the bottom of the TV screen on
financial news channels.
• Shopping channel logos & pricing displays. These include bright graphics that are shown constantly or
repeatedly in the same location.
• Video game patterns and scoreboards.
• Bright station logos. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.
• On-line (internet) web sites. In addition, any other stationary of repetitive computer style images from any source
may cause uneven aging of the picture tubes.

Trouble Checks
If your VCR malfunctions, try the following steps prior to contacting your Mitsubishi Dealer:
Check the Trouble Checks below to see if there is a solution to the current problem that you are experiencing.
If the problem is not addressed on the Trouble Checks, the safety circuits in the VCR may be in operation, thus
please try the following: (the clock setting and the timer recording will be deleted.)
If possible, press EJECT on the front panel and remove the tape.
Press TIMER RESET on the rear panel with a pencil or a ball point pen.
If a tape is not loaded, press POWER to turn the power on. If a tape is loaded, wait about 1 minute until the
tape protecting function is completed, then press POWER.
You may also try the following procedure if the above steps did not resolve the problem. (All settings will be reset to
the default settings.)
Press POWER on the front panel for about 8 seconds until the current time display on the front panel shows “: - -”.
If a tape is not loaded, press POWER to turn the power on. If a tape is loaded, the tape protecting function will
work and “99” will appear on the front pane display to begin count down. Wait about 1 minute until it reaches
“00” to show the tape protecting function is completed, then press POWER.
If the problem with your VCR persists, contact your Mitsubishi dealer for assistance.
