Connecting a VCR

Follow these instructions to connect your VCP to a VCR so you can copy video tapes.

COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Most material performed in public, such as concerts, plays, and movies, or distributed on prerecorded video tapes is copyrighted. The un- authorized recording or duplication of copyrighted material is a violation of the copy- right laws of most countries and such duplication may result in fines and/or imprisonment. Note, however, that in the United States, it is not a violation of U.S. copyright laws for a consumer to record a broadcast television program for private (in- home) viewing.

Connect the VCP’s AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks to the VCR’s audio and video input jacks using video-quality shielded cables (not supplied).

Notes:

•You must use video-quality cable for this type of connection. Do not use standard audio cable. Your local Radio Shack store sells this type of cable.

•If your TV has separate audio/video input jacks, you can connect the VCR’s audio/video output jacks to your TV’s input jacks using another video-quality shielded cable. This lets you watch a tape while you copy it (see “Copying a Video Tape”).
