Note:

If VCR1 has S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable for better picture performance. Do not connect both a standard video cable and an S-video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the TV at the same time.

To dub or edit, VCR 2 must select Line IN, and the TV must select VIDEO 1 (see “Selecting the antenna input” on page 21).

The unauthorized recording, use, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States and other countries, and may subject you to civil and criminal liability.

*The Video OUT jack does not output the POP picture.

**The Audio OUT jacks can output the sound of either the Main or POP picture (see “Selecting the Audio OUT sound” on page 52).

Note:

If your camcorder has S-video, you can use an S-video cable instead of the standard video cable for better picture performance. Do not connect both a standard video cable and an S-video cable at the same time, or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
