USING TWO VCRS FOR COPYING AND EDITING TAPES

Use one VCR as the playback VCR and the other as the recording VCR.

1.Turn on the TV and VCRs.

2.Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel (either 3, 4, or TV’s video input).

4—the one selected on the back of the playback VCR.

If you have connected your VCR using the audio/video jacks, press INPUT on the recording VCR’s remote to select the line input. Select L1 for the jacks on the back of the VCR or L2 for the jacks on the front.

4.Insert the tape you want to copy into the playback VCR. Insert a blank tape with safety tab in place into the recording VCR.

5.Press PLAY on the playback VCR to begin playback. When you reach the point on the tape or program where you want to begin copying, press PAUSE. You may need to adjust the tracking.

Locate the next segment you want to copy on playback VCR by using FWD, REV, and PLAY, and then press

PAUSE.

Press PAUSE on both VCRs at the same time to resume copying.
