For example, insert the laser disc you want to record into the LD player.

3Insert a blank video tape into the VCR (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording.

4Start recording on the recording VCR, then start playing the video tape or laser disc you want to record.

zYou can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while recording from a video tape or laser disc

Locate the point where you want to start recording from another audio source, select the program source, then start playback. The audio from that source will be recorded onto the audio track of the video tape instead of the audio from the original medium.

To resume audio recording from the original medium, select the video source again.
