20 Most Recent Mitsubishi HS-U448 VCR Questions & Answers

I had this problem with this specific machine. These answers have all been general to any VCR. The Mitsubishi HS-U448 has its motor underneath the machine. You don't have to remove the top cover at all. Just remove the bottom plate and spin the motor (the correct direction) to completely eject the tape.

try press power and stop at the same time not sure what brand your vcr is.

It sounds like it is set to a TV station and since all the analogue stations have now gone you will only get static. Without a remote you wan't be able to switch it. I suggest you either shop around for a replacement (try Curry's partmaster) or use a universal one.

Not possible

The manual is available from the Mitsubishi Support site: http://support.mitsubishi-tv.com/documents/HS-U448 . The direct link to the manual is http://support.mitsubishi-tv.com/files/oguide/HS-U448.pdf .

The original remote is no longer available. However, remotes.com has a substitute remote: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=HS-U448&uuid=13065385902780 .

A number of universal remotes will probably also work. The codes will be in any remote that still controls a VCR if the remote was programmed after the HS-U448 was released.

I hope this helps.

Can't be done without a remote. Most universal remotes won't change the input to L1 or L2. Logitech Harmony One works, though. It's not cheap, unfortunately.

Take a scart cable & connect it from the VCR to AV1 on the DVD recorder. Then when you want to record from the VCR select either AV1 /EXT.1/ AUX1 on the DVD recorder as your choice of input source.It depends on the make of your DVD as to determine how the manufacturer has named this inout.

tracking is due to rubber belts and tires being worn, look inside and replace. PRB BELTS.com google it. this can be a tricky problem if you haven't done it before.

Hi Jaco, Have you fed in your Antenna / cable into the Rear of the VCR? And if your VCR has a Input selection switch, just check input to Tuner. You will get Blue screen if input selction is not Tuner but Camera / External source. If this does not solve your problem, then there is no Input selection happening.

The lamp is not enabled possibly due to the colour wheel motor not turning. Any broken glass jamming it? Or the lamp ballast has failed due to an old/worn lamp.

Most likely you need to replace the projection bulb. You can find them online. DLP sets are famous - or infamous - for burning out the bulbs/lamps.

Your Mitsubishi VCR HS-U580 looks to have a problem with the information rollers and drum. Here are some things to check: Look for something blocking the VCR or cassette compartment that would possibly be stopping the guide rollers. Check the belt that drives the VCR mechanism. If it is loose or broken, you may also need to substitute it. Clean the video heads using a head-cleaning cassette to make certain they're not dirty. See if the drum motor is working. If it is not spinning, there may be an issue with the motor. If the trouble persists, it's an exact idea to get assistance from a professional technician or contact Mitsubishi's purchaser support for advice. Be cautious when dealing with electronic devices, and if you are not certain what to do, it's great to get assistance from an expert.

i think finding a downloadable service manual for your Mitsubishi HS-U580 VCR might take some searching, but here are a few options: Check the official Mitsubishi website's support section. They might offer downloadable manuals for older models.Many online appliance parts stores like RepairClinic or AppliancePartsPros stock service manuals for various brands and models. Search for your specific VCR model to see if they have it available.Websites like ManualsLib or iFixit sometimes host user-uploaded service manuals. While the availability and quality can vary, it's worth checking. If online options fail, consider purchasing a physical copy of the service manual from online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon. Remember, some websites might charge a fee for downloading manuals. Always be cautious of suspicious websites and download from reputable sources.

You can purchase a replacement power cord for your Mitsubishi model #LT-55164 from TVserviceParts.com. The part number for the power cord is 246C638010 and it costs $18.40.

Hoping you did not have electric overload that damaged the power supply, try unplugging the set and push the button On until no lights indicate anything. Then wait about an hour so the capacitors would empty themselves further. Next plug it back in and see if this worked. It is never wrong to push the edges a little in finding if the cables that go around the screen have a problem at that point. When one opens the TV (off power and unplugged) these flat cables should be checked for corrosion and right position in connectors. Corrosion is caused by little moist only, combined with the electricity. Then see if capacitors from the power supply, or any at all, have expanded tops. Those are the larger and smaller towers with metal on top that is divided in three parts. New ones alike can then be ordered but replacing requires basic skills. Further examples can be found on YouTube. Capacitors are common to fail early. Those larger ones have dangerous high voltage and can hold their charge for long span of time. it is not uncommon for devices like this to fail after being off.
