Use one VCR as the playback VCR and the other as the recording VCR.

1.Turn on the TV and VCRs.

2.Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel (either 3, 4, or TV’s video input).

3.If you connected your VCR using the IN FROM ANT and OUT TO TV jacks, tune recording VCR to channel 3 or 4—the one selected on the back of the playback VCR.
