Looking to obtain a HS-U448 manual and remote.

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

Did you ever get a manual? I could arrange to copy one.

Information on your CTM HS-2800 is here:

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.

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.

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.

Hopefully you still the VCR. Your's is stuck in "CHILDLOCK" mode. To release the lock you have to have the remote and press the DISPLAY for 8 to 10 seconds.

The purpose of the CHILDLOCK is to prevent others from using your VCR. If you want to set the VCR back on Lock you again press the DISPLAY for 8 to 10 seconds.

This solution is from the owner manual for HS-U448, so I figure your model is the same.
