USING TWO VCRS FOR COPYING AND EDITING TAPES

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

Note that the two VCRs used in the diagram may not look exactly like the VCRs you are connecting. The important thing is to match the proper cable connections. Use the OUT jacks of the playback VCR to connect to IN jacks of the recording VCR. R output jacks connect to R INPUT jacks, L output to L input, and VIDEO out connects to VIDEO in.
