WATCHING BROADCAST TV

To watch broadcast TV on a standard TV connected to the VCP, simply press POWER to turn off the VCP, then tune to the desired station on the TV.

COPYING A VIDEO TAPE

If you connected a VCR to the VCP, you can use your VCP to play back a video cassette tape while the VCR records it.

Follow these steps to copy a video cas- sette tape.

1.Load a pre-recorded tape into the VCP.

2.Load a blank video cassette, or one you want to record over, into the VCR.

3.If the VCR has an input select switch, set it to the video setting.

Note: If the VCR does not have an input select switch and you later want to record VHF/UHF/cable channels on the VCR, you might need to disconnect the VCP from the VCR’s audio/video input jacks.

4.Select the desired recording speed on the VCR.

5.Begin recording on the VCR.

6.Press PLAY(X2) on the VCP to begin tape playback.

7.To watch the tape while you copy it, turn on the TV/monitor. If you are using a standard TV, tune it to the same channel (3 or 4) to which you set the VCP’s CHANNEL switch. If you are using a TV monitor, switch it to the video setting.
