DUBBING

The process of recording from one audio/video device to another is called dubbing.

An audio/video device where a signal origi- nates is called the dubbing source. You can use another VCR, camcorder, satellite receiv- er, or other device with A/V outputs as the dub- bing source, connect the dubbing source and the VCR, then use your VCR to record the sig- nal from the dubbing source.

Or, you can use this VCR as the dubbing source for another VCR. See “Installation” for the various possible connections.

Notes:

•Always use video-quality shielded cables with phono-type connectors to connect the device to the VCR. Do not use standard audio patch cords.

•Most material performed in public, such as concerts, plays, and movies, or distributed on prerecorded video tapes is copyrighted. The unauthorized recording or duplication of copyrighted material is a violation of the copyright laws of most countries and such duplication may result in fines, imprison- ment, or both. Note, however, that in the United States, it is not a violation of U.S. copyright laws for a consumer to record a broadcast television program for private (in-home) viewing.

To dub a tape, start the program playing on the dubbing source (see that device’s instructions) and start recording on the recording VCR, fol- lowing its recording instructions.

AUDIO-ONLY RECORDING (MODEL 61 ONLY)

Because of the superior quality of VHS Hi-Fi audio recordings, you might want to use your VCR as an audio-only recorder. You can also make live recordings by connecting a pre- amplifier or mixer to the VCR’s AUDIO IN jacks. Simply select the line input and record as usu- al.

Caution: Do not directly connect a microphone to the VCR.

Note: For the best audio fidelity, we recom- mend you use high-quality video tape to make audio-only recordings.
