Using Two VCRs for Copying and Editing Tapes

Operating Instructions (Refer to hookup on page 6.)

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

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

1.Turn on the TV and VCRs.

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

3.If you connected your VCR using Option A (page 6), tune the recording VCR to channel 3 or 4 – the one you selected on the back of the playback VCR.

If you connected your VCR using Option B (page 6), press INPUT on the recording VCR’s remote to select the line input.

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

5.Press PLAY, then PAUSE on the playback VCR’s remote 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 REC on the remote or RECORD on the VCR. Then, press PAUSE on the recording VCR’s remote to place the recording VCR in record pause.

7.Press PAUSE 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 the recording VCR’s remote 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’s remote. Press PAUSE on both VCRs at the same time 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.
