WATCHING BROADCAST TV

To watch broadcast TV (if you connected a TV), press TV/VCP so the TV/VCP indicator turns off. Or, you can press POWER to turn off the VCP.

Copying a Video Tape

If you connected a VCR to the VCP (see “Connecting a VCR” on Page 9), you can use your VCP to play back a video cassette tape while the VCR records (copies) it. Follow these steps to copy a video cassette tape.

1.Load a prerecorded tape into the VCP and press STOP to prevent playback from starting automatically.

2.Load a blank video cassette, or one you want to record over, into the VCR.

3.If the VCR has an input select switch or other setting to receive signals from its AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks, set it to the audio/video source mode.

Note: If the VCR does not have an input select switch and you later want to record VHF/UHF/cable channels on the VCR, you might need to disconnect the VCP from the VCR’s audio/video input jacks.

4.Select the desired recording speed on the VCR.

5.Begin recording on the VCR.

6.Press PLAY on the VCP to begin tape playback.

7.To watch the tape while you copy it, turn on the TV or TV/monitor. If you connected a TV using the VCP’s RF.OUT jack, tune the TV to the channel (3 or 4) to which you set the VCP’s CHANNEL switch.

If you want to watch broadcast TV while dubbing, press TV/VCP on the remote control so the TV/VCP indicator on the front panel turns off, then tune to the desired station on the TV. If you connected a TV/monitor, set the TV/ monitor to TV mode.
