SPECIAL FEATURES

Copying, or Dubbing, a Video

To make a copy, or “dub,” of another video tape, you need:

•your TV/VCR

•a separate VCR (or camcorder)

•two A/V cables with connectors. (You can find these at most electronics supply stores.)

Important warning:

One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs may be an infringement of copyright laws.

Making the Connections

<FRONT>

Attach one end of the video/audio cable to the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT connector of the playback VCR (or camcorder) and the other end to the VIDEO/AUDIO IN connector of the TV/VCR.

Dubbing

1Insert the video cassette tape you want to copy into the playback VCR (or camcorder).

2Insert a blank video tape (or any video tape with the record safety tab intact) into the recording TV/VCR.

3Press LINE IN on the remote control of the recording TV/VCR.

The words “Line in” appear in the upper left corner of the TV/VCR screen.

✔The TV/VCR will be recording from the incoming line rather than from the normal broadcast signal.

“Line in” will remain on-screen until the PLAY button is pressed on the playback VCR.

4To begin recording, simultaneously press the REC button on the recording TV/VCR’s remote control and PLAY on the playback VCR (or camcorder).

5When you are finished, press STOP on both the VCR (or camcorder) and the TV/VCR to stop recording.

6Press LINE IN to return to normal TV viewing.
