Video Dubbing

You can make a copy of another video cassette tape. This is called “dubbing.” To dub, you need:

•your VCR

•a separate VCR (or camcorder), and

•two A/V cables with connectors. (You can find these at most electronics supply stores.)

We recommend that you play the pre-recorded tape in the separate VCR (or camcorder) and record on your TV.

Making the Connections

Attach one end of the first cable to the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT connector of the playback VCR (or camcorder) and the other end to the VIDEO/AUDIO IN connector of the TV.

Video Dubbing

Insert the video cassette tape you want to copy into the playback VCR (or camcorder).

Important Warning: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized

recording of copyrighted TV programs may be an infringement of copyright laws.

Insert a blank video tape (or any video tape with the record safety tab intact) into the recording VCR.
