Note:

If you have S-VHS VCRs, use S-video cables instead of regular video cables. Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time. Doing so will cause unacceptable picture performance.

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.

*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 47).

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.

Caution:

If you have an S-VHS camcorder, use an S-video cable between the S-video jacks on the camcorder and TV. Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable at the same time. Doing so will cause unacceptable picture performance.
