Trouble Checks
If your VCR malfunctions, try the following steps prior to contacting your Mitsubishi Dealer:
1
Check the
Trouble Checks
on the next page to see if there is a solution to the current problem that
you are experiencing.
2
If the problem is not addressed on the
Trouble Checks
page, 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.

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.)
1 Press POWER on the front panel continuously for about 8 seconds until the current time display
on the front panel shows “- : - -”.
2 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 panel 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.
