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
1
Turn 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.

Turn the VCR on by pressing POWER.

You 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.

Later, 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:

Check 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.

Turn 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.
