Helpful Hints

Unauthorized recording of copyright- ed television programs, video tapes, or other materials may infringe on the rights of copyright owners and violate copyright laws.

If a program has copy guard protec- tion, it may not record clearly.

Audio and video cables are not included.

The VCR in the figure above is the VRA651. If you have the VRA451, use a single-plug (monaural) audio cable to connect the AUDIO OUT Jack on VCR 1 to the AUDIO IN Jack on VCR 2.

To stop copying tapes, press the STOP/EJECT button on VCR 2, then press the STOP/EJECT button on VCR 1.

If you connect the audio and video cables to the AUDIO/VIDEO In jacks on the front of VCR 2, you must select A/V IN FRONT at step 4. If you connect the audio and video cables to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on the back of VCR 2, you must select A/V IN REAR at step 4.
