Note

•You cannot do this customizing for VHS TUNER or VHS LINE. These buttons are always related to the COMMAND MODE position.

Turning on and controlling another VCR

1Set COMMAND MODE on the remote commander to the same position as COMMAND MODE on the other VCR.

If the other VCR doesn’t have a COMMAND MODE selector, set COMMAND MODE on the remote commander according to the table in “Controlling a VCR which has no COMMAND MODE selector” on the previous page.

2Press VIDEO1, VIDEO2, or VHS LINE depending on which jacks the other VCR is connected to.

The other VCR and TV turn on, and the corresponding input source is selected.

Customizing the remote commander to make

controlling other VCRs easier

Initially VIDEO1 and VIDEO2 only select the input source, and COMMAND MODE on the remote commander determines which VCR you can control with the remote commander.

However, you can customize VIDEO1 and VIDEO2 on the remote commander to control the other VCR.

While pressing either VIDEO1 or VIDEO2,

•press number button 7 to control the VCR with its COMMAND MODE selector set to VTR1, or Betamax format VCR;

•press number button 8 to control the VCR with its COMMAND MODE selector set to VTR2, or 8mm format VCR; or,

•press number button 9 to control the VCR with its COMMAND MODE selector set to VTR3, or VHS format VCR.

The customized button is no longer related to the COMMAND MODE position. To turn on and control the other VCR with the remote commander, simply press the customized VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 button.

To relate VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 with COMMAND MODE again

While pressing VIDEO1 or VIDEO2, press SHIFT.
