Need help in setting up the Mitsubishi HS-HD2000U with the WS-65909. First of all, I do not have satellite nor cable; I only have OTA without a set-top box since the WS-65909 has it build in. So, I thought this should be a very simple set up; but, I got blue screen only on IEEE input instead; however, the analog connection work fine though.
Here what I have done exactly according to the menu.
1. OTA from the wall to VCR in at the back of the HS-HD2000U.
2. VCR out at the back of the HS-HD2000U to the Ant-DTV in at the back of the WS-65909.
3. Composite out from the back of the VCR to Input-2 at the back of the TV.
4. Audio out and S-video out from the back of the TV to the Audio in and S-video in at the back of the VCR.
5. Of course, I have the IEEE1394 between the VCR and the TV.
Turned on the TV and it found the new hardware and I followed the on screen netcommand to add the connection. Switched it to Input-2 of the TV and did the Allset from the VCR menu and left it alone overnight. Turned on the TV and VCR the next day and switched to the Input-2 of the TV and I saw different TV channels ( I suspected they are NTSC though); I was able to record and play back what I recorded through the analog connection. When I switched to the IEEE input of the TV, I got a blue screen and the transport menu came up; nothing else. Channel up and down button won't response; can't see anything but the blue screen. I do not have a D-VHS movie to test the play back function though.
Of course, I called Mitsubishi and been playing phone tag with them for more than a week. Finally, get a hold on them on last Friday from 4:20pm to 7:45pm (more than 3 hours are holding time), and they couldn't help to figure out what wrong.
Can someone out there show me how to set up the unit correctly. Am I missing something when I setting it up? Am I supposed to see anything from OTA when I switch to IEEE input? Does this unit have build in ATSC? My be not; that's why I have blue screen? How do I record HD programming from Fox, NBC, ABC, and CBS? Am I supposed to switch to IEEE input when I record over the air or switch to Ant-DTV input and the channel that I want to record?
Thank you very much for your time.
