You can use your VCR as the player or the recorder.
MAKE CONNECTIONS
1
Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT
and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO
IN and AUDIO IN connectors.
●If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or
output connector, it is recommended to use the S-
VIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation
while editing.
●When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural
VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT
connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.
LOAD CASSETTES

Insert the playback cassette into the player and the
cassette to be recorded on into the recorder.

Set to "AUX". With this VCR, press the NUMBER key "0"
and/or CH to select depending on the connector being

or "F-1" for the front AUDIO/VIDEO IN connector.
NOTE:
If you use your VCR as the recorder and have connected
another VCR to your VCR's S-VIDEO IN connector, you
need to set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO" at the
Function screen. Follow steps 4 – 6 from the "Edit From
A Camcorder" section (

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing
S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings
when dubbing from one VCR to another.
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or
from S-VHS to S-VHS.
●From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-
VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently
limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape
has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS
editing.
●From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the
source material is very high, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●From S-VHS to S-VHS: A high resolution copy is made of
a high resolution original S-VHS tape with minimal
picture degradation. This is the preferred method of
video dubbing.
S-Video cable
(supplied)
NOTE:
If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS
receiver, make sure that the correct AUX INPUT ("VIDEO" or "S-
VIDEO") is selected after you have finished editing (
