Recording two TV programs at the same time requires two tuners – the one
in your VCR-2 and a second one from your TV, another VCR or an accessory
tuner. If your TV does not have a video output connection, you will need a
second tuner (VCR or accessory) with video output connections.
Connect the second tuner to the Audio In and Video In connections on
your VCR-2 back panel (see diagram).

your TV).

be recorded on Deck 2.
