32 INTRODUCING THE 8mm/VHS DUAL-DECK VCR
Congratulations on your purchase of Go-Video’s 8mm/VHS
Dual-Deck VCR.
Because a Dual-Deck VCR has two videocassette decks,
operation is a little different than for the single deck VCR’s
that you’re probably used to.

Two Decks, One Set of Controls

The key difference in operating a Dual-Deck VCR is that you
have to switch control of deck functions (such as Play,
Rewind, and Fast Forward) between the 8mm and VHS
decks. One set of keys controls both decks.
The front of the Dual-Deck VCR has two indicator lights, a
green 8mm and a red VHS light. Just check to see which
light is on when you want to know which deck is active.
Inserting a cassette into either deck automatically switches
control to that deck. You can also switch control between the
two decks by pressing the 8mm/VHS key on the front panel
or on the remote control.

Remote Control

Your Dual-Deck VCR is designed to be used with either the
remote control or the front panel controls. However, most
people find it easiest to use the specially designed remote
control. We’ve created groupings of similar keys so you will
be able to find them more easily; for example Menu keys are
below the numerical keypad, and Automatic Editing keys
are along the top row of the lower part of the remote control.

On Screen Menus

You’ll use the Dual-Deck VCR’s On Screen Menu System for
most of your operation. Using the Menu System is simple:
the Menu keys are conveniently grouped together on the
remote control, and on-screen prompts are provided to guide
you through the menu system.
