Hitachi VT-FX611A Copying from One VCR to Another Dubbing, Putting the Record VCR in Pause

Advanced Operations (Second VCR)

With another VCR hooked up, you can copy videotapes as needed, and you can

get fancy with multimedia programming. For this discussion, we refer to the model VT-FX611A Hitachi as VCR2 and the other unit as VCR1.

Hookup

To hook up a second VCR, you need:

A video cord with a single jack on each end, and An audio cord with two jacks on each end, or

A three-way cord that has both audio and video jacks

Study the back of VCR2 (VT-FX611A) to find the three color-coded jacks that are labeled IN. The yellow jack is for video, red and white are for audio. Locate similar jacks on VCR1. Then, with the power off:

Connect VIDEO OUT on VCR2 to the yellow VIDEO IN on VCR1.

Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks (left and right) on VCR2 to the AUDIO IN jacks (left and right) on VCR1. Be sure to match left to left (white) and right to right (red).

Second VCR Hookup

Copying from One VCR to Another (Dubbing)

Consider VCR1 the recording VCR, and VCR2 (VT-FX611A) the playback VCR. You will play a tape on VCR2 and record it on VCR1. To begin copying:

Insert the videotape you wish to record in VCR2.

Insert a blank or erasable tape (with the safety tab intact) into VCR1. Press AVX on VCR1--the LINE indicator will display.

Press REC on VCR1, and press PLAY on VCR2.

To monitor the picture as you record, VCR1 must be connected to your TV (follow instructions in the other VCR's manual). Press the VCRiTV button on the remote. The VCR indicator will light on VCRI's display and you can view the picture being recorded.

Putting the Record VCR in Pause

Some models of VCR will switch to the "STOP" mode if they are left in the RECORD/PAUSE mode for more than five minutes. It is a good idea not to leave your recording deck in RECORD/PAUSE for more than five minutes so that this will not happen.
