TAPE DUBBING CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

the INPUT jacks from the other video/audio equipment. (You can also press CHANNEL ¿ or Àon the player, or CH + or CH

on the remote control.)

2.Begin recording on the dubbing VCR and playing on the source VCR simultaneously.

Notes:

When using special playback functions (Still Picture, Video

Search, Frame Advance, or Variable Slow Motion) during dubbing, a blue screen may appear. Set BLUE SCREEN on the dubbing VCR (for recording) to OFF. (See “Mode Selection” on Page 17.)

To use the TV as a monitor while dubbing, press TV/VCR on the dubbing VCR to select VCR.

Use an RCA pin-type connection cable (not supplied, available from RadioShack) to connect the source VCR to the dubbing VCR.
