Copying a Tape from Analog to Analog

There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape from analog to analog.

One way is to use the HS-HD2000U to record and another VCR for playback.

The other way is to use another VCR to record and use the HS-HD2000U for playback.

Regardless of which method you may choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and one S-video cable to connect the two VCRs. You can use either a standard RCA video cable or an S-video cable. If you do not have these cables, they are available at your local electronics dealer. The highest quality is achieved through an S-video cable.

Using the HS-HD2000U to Record from Another VCR

1Connect the audio cable to AUDIO OUT L and R on the playback VCR and to AUDIO IN L and R on the HS-HD2000U. If the playback VCR is mono, use only the AUDIO IN L on the HS-HD2000U.

2If the playback VCR is S-VHS, connect an S-video cable to S-VIDEO OUT on the playback VCR and to the S-VIDEO IN on the HS-HD2000U.

If the playback VCR is standard VHS, connect a video cable to VIDEO OUT on the playback VCR and to the VIDEO IN on the HS-HD2000U.

3If the playback VCR is Hi-Fi, set the audio monitor to Stereo.

4Use INPUT to set the HS-HD2000U to External 1 (L1) if you used the HS-HD2000U rear panel jacks, or External 2 (L2) if you used the HS-HD2000U front panel jacks.

5Put a blank tape into the HS-HD2000U. If you are recording in S-VHS, be sure to use an S-VHS tape.

Make sure that the S-VHS record or S-ET record in the S-VHSSet-Up menu is set correctly. See page 32, Selecting Recording Format.

Make sure that the Front S-input or Rear S-input in the S-VHSSet-Up menu is set correctly. See page 33, Selecting S-input Setting.

6Put the tape you want to copy into the playback VCR and find the cue point. Press STOP if the picture starts playing.

7On the HS-HD2000U, press REC, then PAUSE.

8On the playback VCR, press PLAY, then PAUSE.

9Press the PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the same time to begin copying the tape.

10When finished, press STOP on both VCRs.
