Since there is little or no 'official' English-language documentation for MUSE equipment, I have created English-language user guides (all in PDF form) for the following MUSE decoders : Sony MST-2000Sony MSC-3000 / MSC-4000Victor HV-MD2 / Mitsubishi MD-CZ11I currently also have manual scans for the Sony MST-1000, Panasonic TU-AHD100, and Panasonic TU-MDC100. Any additional manuals would be welcome. I also have a Victor HV-VMD1, which is quite simple (and similar to the HV-MD2), so that I could create a guide for it readily enough. If there is a decoder model not listed which you would like a user guide for, please feel free to mention it. I can be bribed — I will accept cash, decoders, Hi-Vision LDs, or Hi-Vision LD players! Please do let me know what you think about these guides. Are there errors? Is the arrangement usable? Are they clear enough to actually operate your decoders?

This should be possible, but it will be a tricky operation. I might suggest making a second connexion using the second pair of output jacks, if you can, to some kind of monitor which will accept this sort of video, so that you can follow along. If that's not possible, however, you should be able to follow these steps : MENU (enters root menu) Down Arrow (selects "MUSE output settings" submenu) ENTER (first choice in submenu is "video output") ENTER (allows making selections in "video output") Up Arrow (moves back one step, from GBR1 to YPbPr) ENTER (confirms selection) -- at this point you should see results MENU (exits)

Is it possible that this is the reason I don't see any video output from my decoder because it is set to GBR1 ? I would not at all be surprised. "GBR1" is separate sync, in other words, the line & field synchronization signals travel on separate wires from the video signals. This is how, for instance, VGA works, & it suits some projectors, but of course you have to have all five lines connected. A display which only accepts YPbPr would show something on GBR2 with three wires connected, although it would look very strange. The best way to check is with an oscilloscope, verifying the presence of something resembling a video signal at the output terminals.

Thanks "publius" and whole group of you data contributors. Long story short, I made it! I used exactly the same trick as specified by "publius" and it works. MENU DOWN-ARROW ENTER ENTER UP-ARROW (switch from RGB1 back to YPbPr) ENTER MENU I did connect the second set of video output to my plasma to detect the difference. Unfortunately, OSD is not available on this output which is reasonable as it is supposed to be connected with a video recorder. But, the plasma is smart enough to tell me that the input signal is 1080i@60Hz even if there is no MUSE title being played through back here. Before that it was only said to be COMPONENT. Now I am able to view everything including the OSD through main output passed in to HDQ then to my plasma. I also hold strong feeling that a certain combination of (at least) two keys will bring the MSC-4000 back to its factory default or reset the user settings then enter so called "test mode". This is even more tricky. I try to figure out something useful when I finish my day, normally at midnight ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Relax, Basic Instinct looks super weird on MUSE. That's normal ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif) Or at least that is what I thought when I watched it. The only good MUSE LD's I ever saw were some of the scenery discs. Also, you need to adjust the picture for MUSE separately. Colors etc. are different. Ideally do this using the SONY Test Disc. Which is also IMHO the MUSE disc with the best picture quality.

publius wrote: I'm glad your decoder is working for you now. Sorry that I can't do anything about the player malfunction, or "weirdness" in the picture (although you might try stepping through the "saturation" choices in the menu). Thank you for your help so far ! I really appreciate it. This was a real shock. I checked the same disc 2 weeks ago and it played without any problems. Now after inserting the Suzuki MUSE disc I am getting the P5 error. There is a different thread on this forum dealing with this very issue. It cannot be fixed easily. I doubt anyone in Germany can actually fix it. This really sucks. I dont know what happened.

kencol wrote: Hi Confederate,
Is it an X9 that you're having trouble with reading muse discs?
Before you get the P5 error does the disc spin up, then slow down, then spin up really fast before stopping and displaying P5? Hi kencol, thank you for your reply ! I appreciate it. It is an X0 I am having the problem with. Well the problem only happens with MUSE CAV discs. It was working just fine until 2 weeks ago Actually I am not 100% certain that what you are saying is 100% accurate as I did not open the player but I can tell you it does spin up and slow down afterwards followed by a P5 error message on the TV and the front panel. I really pray to God this can be fixed. I have heard of this error message on both the X0 and the X9. I found two separate threads on the internet with people mentioning it on their players.
