structions.
12 Grounding or Polarization
This product is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line
plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety fea-
ture. If you are unable to insert

14 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the prod-
uct, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding
electrode.
15 Lightning
For added protection for this

or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent dam-
age to the product due to light-
ning and power-line surges.

Setting Up Your 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 the type of TV that you have, 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 the VCR’s picture. To go back to
viewing the picture from the TV, press the TV’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 43.
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 the VCR’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 the VCR power OFF, press
CHANNEL ª and REC SPEED on the front panel at the
same time. CH4 will display on the front panel and the VCR
will send signals on channel 4.
If needed, to return to channel 3: with the VCR turned OFF,
press CHANNEL º and REC SPEED on the front panel at
the same time. CH3 will display.
2Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.
operating
3Check to see if the VCR 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 43.
4Turn on the TV and change the TV to the video channel (3 or
4). You are now watching the VCR’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.

Operating the VCR with the Remote Control
The HS-U747 has two VCR remote control operational settings:
VCR-A and VCR-B. The HS-U747 is pre-set to VCR-A setting.
See page 46 for information about VCR operational setting.
1Set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to VCR
position. This “tells” the remote that you want to control the
VCR.
Loading a Tape
Tapes can be loaded into your VCR as long as the VCR is plugged
in. Even when the VCR POWER is off, loading a tape will
automatically turn the VCR on. Use only tapes that have an
or label.
1Hold the tape so that the long narrow edge with the contents
label faces you. The other edge is hinged and should face the
VCR. The plastic window that shows the videotape should
face up.
2Gently insert the tape evenly into the cassette slot until the
VCR automatically takes it in.
If the VCR will not automatically take the tape in, press EJECT and
try again.
Your VCR will eject the tape if it is loaded improperly. If the VCR
ejects the tape; remove the tape, check to see that the contents
label is facing you, that the geared tape reels are facing down, wait
a few seconds, and try again.
Playing a Tape
1Press PLAY on the front panel or the remote control.

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.
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.
Selecting the On-screen Language
You can set your VCR to display on-screen messages, menus, and
functions in English or Spanish. You will do this the first time you
use the menus or set any audio and video functions.
1Make sure you are viewing the picture coming from your VCR.
Press MENU on the remote control. If this is the first time the
menus have been used, you will see the menu for selecting the
on-screen language.
2Press ADJUST buttons on the remote control to highlight the
desired language.
3Press ENTER on the remote control. The menu will change to
the VCR Main Menu.
4Press MENU to exit the menus.
IMPORTANT
The Select Language menu is unique. While all other
menus can be accessed at almost any time, the Select
Language menu will not automatically appear again after it
is first set. To see the Select Language menu, press the
TIMER RESET on the back of the VCR, then follow the
procedure above. The Select Language menu will also
appear after an extended power failure.

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.
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 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.
1Set the VCR’s input to tuner. To do this, press INPUT on the
remote control until a channel number appears on the screen.
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 playing back a tape or receiving a video signal
from an external input, Not available will flash and an error
message will appear. To correct this, stop the tape or turn
off the menus and switch the VCR’s input to tuner.
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 are using any cable combination, including a
cable box with an A/B switch
•Indoor/outdoor ant. if you use rabbit ears type or roof
mounted type antennas
After you have selected, press ENTER.
5An on-screen message will show you that the VCR is
memorizing the stations you can receive. You can cancel the
memorization at any time by pressing CANCEL. After the VCR
has memorized all the channels, the screen will return to the
VCR’s picture.
IMPORTANT
Automatic channel memorizing may include vacant
channels if there are stray signals or noise on those
channels. If this occurs, you can manually delete the
channels using the procedure in the section Adding and
Deleting Channels.

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. Auto Clock set will be
highlighted. Press the ADJUST buttons to select ON.
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 the VCR displays
the wrong time. (See the next page.)
IMPORTANT
The auto clock function will activate whenever you turn off
the VCR and at 3:00 am, when the VCR power is off. If
you use a cable box, make sure that you leave the cable
box on and tuned to the local PBS station to activate the
auto clock function.
After a power failure, the VCR will automatically set the
clock again. (If you have set the Auto Clock set setting of
the Set the clock menu to OFF, the auto clock function will
not work.)

Your new VCR offers a wide variety of recording options that take
full advantage of our advanced electronics. First, you can learn
how to record a current broadcast. Then, in another section of this
book called Timer Recording, you can learn how to program your
VCR to record at a later time and day.
Recording a Current Broadcast
To record a TV program that is currently playing:
1Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format
on page 21.
3Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing
SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front
panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.
4Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT until a channel
number is shown on-screen. If External L1 or L2 appears,
continue to press INPUT until a channel number appears.
5Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL
on the remote control or on the front panel or the number
buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the
cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B
switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.
6Press REC on the remote or REC/˙REC LENGTH on the
front panel.
Recording will start. When the VCR reaches the end of the tape, it
will automatically rewind to the beginning of the tape and stop.
• You can stop recording at any time by pressing STOP or
PAUSE on the remote or on the front panel.
• To resume recording from STOP, press REC.
• To resume recording from PAUSE, press PAUSE.
You cannot use REC/˙REC LENGTH on the front panel
to resume recording from PAUSE.
IMPORTANT
If you pause the VCR for more than five minutes, recording
will stop automatically to protect the tape.
If you record in extended play (EP), you will only be able to
play the tape on a VCR equipped for EP play, such as this
one.
If you attempt to record on a tape that has had its erasure
prevention tab removed, the VCR will eject it. To record
over such a tape, simply place a piece of vinyl tape over
the opening.

Using One-Touch Recording (OTR)
One-Touch Recording (OTR) is a way to begin recording immedi-
ately, and have your VCR stop recording and turn off automatically
after your show is over.
1Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format
on page 21.
3Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing
SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front
panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.
4Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT on the remote
until a channel number shows on-screen.
5Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL
on the remote control or on the front panel or the number
buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the
cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B
switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.
6Press REC/˙REC LENGTH on the front panel twice. The first
time you press the button, recording will begin. The second
press of the same button adds 30 minutes to the OTR timer,
displayed on the front panel.
7Press REC/˙REC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes
you want to add to the OTR timer, up to 4 hours. If you press
the button 10 times, you will see End on the front panel display.
The VCR will record until the end of the tape. If you press the
button an eleventh time, the VCR will resume normal manual
recording.
The OTR timer will begin to count down backwards. When it
reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off.
If you program too much time into the OTR timer
Continue pressing REC/˙REC LENGTH. After the End point you
can start over from zero, adding time in 30 minute intervals.
How OTR affects other controls
If you press PAUSE during OTR, the VCR will pause recording, but
the OTR timer continues to count down.
Press PAUSE again to resume recording from the record-pause
mode. The REC/˙REC LENGTH will not resume your recording.
If you press STOP during OTR, you erase the OTR programming.

)
Standby One-Touch Recording (also called OTR2) is a program-
ming method to begin recording within the next 24 hours and
record in 30 minutes intervals. Before you use OTR2, make sure
the clock has been set correctly.
1Load a tape with its erasure prevention tab intact into the VCR.
2Set the recording format. See Selecting Recording Format
on page 21.
3Set the speed at which you would like to record by pressing
SP/EP on the remote control or REC SPEED on the front
panel. The selected speed will be displayed on the TV screen.
4Set the VCR’s input to tuner by pressing INPUT on the remote
until the channel number shows on-screen.
5Select the channel you wish to record by pressing CHANNEL
on the remote control or on the front panel or the number
buttons on the remote. If you are using a cable box, select
channel 3 or 4 on the VCR, and change the channel on the
cable box, not on the VCR. Additionally, if you are using an A/B
switch, remember to set the switch to the correct position.
6Press PAUSE/%START TIME on the front panel to set the time
when you wish recording to start (within the next 24 hours).
The start time is displayed on the front panel. The first time
display is the next half-hour increment from the current time.
For example, if it is currently 2:15, 2:30 (next half-hour
increment) will be displayed. Similarly, if it is currently 2:40,
3:00 (again, the next half-hour increment) will be displayed.
Each time you press the button, the start time is delayed by 30
minutes.
7Press REC/˙REC LENGTH for each additional 30 minutes
you want to add to the OTR2 timer, up to 4 hours. If you see
End on the front panel display, the VCR will record until the end
of the tape.
After 30 seconds, the power will turn off and the programmed
recording light will be lit. The VCR will automatically turn on at the
OTR2 start time and recording will begin. When the OTR2 timer
reaches zero, the VCR will stop recording and turn off automati-
cally. If the end of the tape is reached before OTR2 is finished, the
VCR will stop and the power will turn off.
IMPORTANT
Other programs you have set to record may be erased if:
• the start times are before the OTR2 start time
• conflicts with the OTR2
• starts within one minute or less after the OTR2 finishes
If you turn the power on while your VCR is in stand-by for
the OTR2, the OTR2 programming will be erased.

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.

Timer Recording Hints
To use the VCR before timer recording begins, press POWER on
the remote once. This turns the programmed recording light off
and the VCR on. If you use POWER on the front panel for this
purpose, press it twice. Pressing it once turns off the programmed
recording light; pressing it again turns the VCR on.
When you are finished using the VCR, turn the VCR power off
again. Make sure the programmed recording light is back on.
After a program has been recorded, the VCR memory of that
program 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 programming to
record (unless you are programming with the QUICK PROGRAM).
If the VCR’s memory is full, Program memory is full will appear on
the screen. If so, you must erase a program before you can enter
a new one.
If a tape runs out during timer recording, the VCR ejects the tape
and the programmed recording light ( ) and the cassette light
( ) will flash. Load a new tape and press REC. Recording will
resume.
If you forget to load a tape, the programmed recording light ( )
and the cassette light ( ) will flash when you turn the VCR
power off. (A tape without an erasure tab will be ejected. To
correct this, load a tape with its erasure tab intact, and turn off the
VCR.)
Do not overlap the recording times you enter into the VCR. If you
set two programmed recording times overlap, VCR is already
programmed for that time will appear on your screen.
Remember that the VCR will record over the next section of tape.
If you want to save a tape, remove it and instead use a different
tape for a new recording.
Your VCR will not record over a tape that has the erasure
prevention tab removed. All rental movies have this tab removed,
so they are safe from being accidentally erased.

Auto speed programming
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 play (EP) if there is not
enough tape left.
Auto speed programming is only available for one program. In the
first slot, the recording speed default is AUTO.
Make sure that the Tape video function matches the length of tape
you are using. See Selecting and adjusting the audio and

At the point where the recording mode changes from standard
play (SP) to extended play (EP), some noise may be in the picture
or sound when playing the tape.
Program caution
If your VCR is set to record, but the power is still ON within 3
minutes before timer recording starts, this screen will appear to
remind you to turn off the VCR.
If the VCR is still turned on 12 seconds before the start time of the
recording, that timer recording will be cancelled.
TV programs that end on the day after
If you want to start the recording at 11:00 PM and end it at 2:00
AM the next day, simply set the start time to 11:00 PM on the
recording start day and the end time to 2:00 AM. There is no need
to change the day of the week.

Speed search
Use speed search to visually search through the contents of a
videotape.
1While playing a tape, press FF or REW on the front panel or on
the remote control. You will see the picture as it fast forwards
or rewinds. Noise bars may appear in the pictures.
2If you press FF or REW and hold it down for about 1 second,
the search speed will increase.
3To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again quickly, or
press PLAY.
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.
Counter zero stop
Counter zero stop allows you to quickly access the beginning of a
recorded or playback section of a tape. The counter zero stop will
automatically fast forward or rewind the tape to “0h00m00s” and
stop.
1Press CANCEL on the remote control at the point you wish to
locate later. The counter will reset to “0h00m00s”.
2When you wish to return to the point specified in step 1, press
AUDIO/VIDEO on the remote control. The function menu
appears on your screen. Press AUDIO/VIDEO until the
Counter zero stop function appears.
3Press ENTER to start the counter zero stop.
The VCR will automatically search to the counter “0h00m00s” and
then stop. The VCR may stop slightly before or after the counter
“0h00m00s”.

Index search
Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before
using index search, index marks are placed at specific places on a
tape. 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 during
recording.
automatic index marks
Whenever recording is begun from the STOP mode, an index mark
is automatically added to the tape. A message will indicate that the
mark is being recorded.
Index marks are not added when you press PAUSE or REC to
begin recording from the record-pause mode.
manual index marks
To add an index mark yourself, press REC on the remote control
while a tape is recording.
Index marks must be added at least one minute apart.
1When the tape is stopped, press INDEX ^I to begin a
forward search; press INDEX I\ to search in reverse. The
VCR will fast forward or rewind and index search display
appears on the TV.
Once the VCR finds an index mark, it will begin playing back
the tape from that point.
2You can press INDEX ^I or INDEX I\ buttons up to 19
times to search for that many index marks. For example, to
find the third index mark ahead, press INDEX ^I three times.
The on-screen display will count down the number of marks
passed before playback begins.
3To cancel index search, press PLAY or STOP.

repeat playback
You can playback a section of tape over and over using repeat
playback. The tape will play until the next index mark, rewind to
the previous index mark, and resume playing. If there is only one
index mark on the tape, then the VCR will play or rewind to that
mark and resume playback. If there is no index mark, the entire
cassette will repeat.
1Press AUDIO/VIDEO on the remote control to display the
function menu. Press AUDIO/VIDEO until the Repeat play
function appears.
2To start the playback, press ENTER.
When the VCR encounters the next mark or the end of the
tape, it will automatically rewind to the previous mark and begin
playback again.
The VCR will also search for a blank section of tape. If the
VCR encounters any blank sections longer than 4 seconds in
length, the repeat playback will begin.
3Press STOP to cancel the repeat.
Search to blank
This feature allows you to find the end point of the recorded part of
the tape. The VCR will stop automatically at the beginning of the
blank section of a tape.
1Press AUDIO/VIDEO on the remote control to display the
function menu. Press AUDIO/VIDEO until the Search to blank
function appears.
2To start the search, press ENTER.
When the VCR encounters the blank section of a tape, it will
automatically stop.

Displaying the Time Gauge and the
Remaining Time
The time gauge is a graphic representation of your position on a
video tape. The left side of the gauge is the tape start (S), and the
right side is the tape end (E). For a T-120 length tape played at
standard (SP) speed, each mark on the gauge represents about 15
minutes. The remaining time display shows the time, in hours and
minutes, left until the end of a tape.
the time gauge and the remaining time automatically appear

DISPLAY twice.
to make the time gauge and the remaining time appear:
Press DISPLAY once. The time gauge and remaining time appear
on the TV screen. They disappear after 4 seconds when playing a
tape.
To turn off the display, press DISPLAY twice.
IMPORTANT
The time gauge and remaining time work by detecting
control signals on recorded tapes. Therefore they do not
function while playing blank tapes.
The remaining time display may not show the correct remaining
time if the Tape function is incorrectly set, if you are using speed
search, if you are using a special length cassette (such as T-10
length), or if you are using an S-VHS-C or a VHS-C tape with an
adapter. The remaining time display may not work correctly
depending on your tape.
Displaying the Current Time
The current time is shown on the front panel display or the TV
screen. If you have not set the clock, or if there has been a power
failure of longer than 3 minutes, the display will show - : - -.
To see the current time on the TV screen:

Using the remote control to operate your TV
The HS-U747 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-U747 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
1Turn off your TV.
2On the HS-U747 remote control, set the VCR/TV slide switch to
the TV position.
3While holding in SP/EP, press the code button listed that
corresponds to the brand of your TV.
4Press TV POWER on the HS-U747 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 buttons
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.

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:
1Check the Trouble Checks below to see if there is a solution to the current problem that you are
experiencing.
2If 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.)
1 If possible, press EJECT on the front panel and remove the tape.
2 Press TIMER RESET on the rear panel with a pencil or a ball point pen.
3 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.
3You may also try the following procedure if the above steps did not resolve the problem. (All
settings will be reset to the default settings.)
