Advanced Operations (Synchro Editing)

Synchro Editing

Tape copying is much easier if you can connect VCR1 and VCR2 with a synchro edit cable. This lets you use a single set of controls to govern both VCRs.

We assume that VCR2 is your model VT-F382A. This is the playback VCR.

The other VCR must be a Hitachi and must have a jack labeled EDIT. This is the recording VCR.

You will need to purchase a synchro edit cable. Ask for part number VTCH40S.

Remember to switch the remote control between VCR1 and VCR2 mode, depending on which device you are signalling.

Hookup When VCR1 is Recording

Hook up the two VCRs and the TV as shown on page 55.

Connect the synchro cable from EDIT on VCR1 to EDIT on VCR2.

Synchro Edit Procedure When VCR1 is Recording Turn the power on to both VCRs and the TV. Insert the cassette you want to copy into VCR2.

On VCR2, press PLAY. Locate the place on the tape where you want to begin copying, then press PAUSE.

Insert a cassette (with its safety tab intact) into VCR1. Put this VCR in

RECORD-PAUSE mode, and press AVX to put it in LINE mode.

Press PAUSE on VCR2 (the playback VCR) to start the recording. Both tapes will start together.

Press PAUSE again on VCR2 when you want to stop. Both VCRs will pause.

Now fast-forward, rewind, or play the tape in VCR2 to find the next segment you want to copy.

Put VCR2 into PLAY-PAUSE mode and press PAUSE again - recording will continue.

Press the STOP buttons on both VCRs when you are finished.
