Using Two VCRs for Copying and Editing Tapes

Use this VCR as the playback VCR and the other VCR as the recording VCR. If you have two compatible VCRÕs, use the AutoEdit feature described on the next page.

Operating Instructions

1.Turn on the TV and VCRs.

2.Tune TV to the VCR viewing channel, either 3, 4, or TVÕs video input.

3.If you have connected your VCR using the Basic Hookup (page 8), tune recording VCR to channel 3 or 4 Ñ the one selected on the back of the playback VCR.

If you have connected your VCR using the Advanced Hookup (page 8), press INPUT on recording VCR to select the line input. Select L1 to record from the jacks on the back or L2 to record from 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.

To prevent recording on-screen displays from the playback VCR, press DISPLAY four times. (See page 28 for details.)

5.Press PLAY, then PAUSE on playback VCR when you reach the point on the tape or program where you want to begin copying. If the tape was not recorded on the playback VCR, streaks may appear and you may need to adjust tracking.

6.Press RECORD, then PAUSE, on recording VCR.

7.Press PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the same time to begin copying the tape.*

8.Edit out segments that you do not want to copy by pressing PAUSE on recording VCR to stop copying the tape. Then locate the next segment you want to copy on the playback VCR by using FWD, REW, and PLAY. Press PAUSE on the playback VCR. Press PAUSE at the same time on both VCRs to resume copying.

9.Press STOP on both VCRs when you are finished.

*You may turn off the TV after the recording has started as it does not have to be on to copy a tape.

Caution: The unauthorized recording of television programs and other materials may infringe the rights of others.
