Recording from Your Stereo System
With the hookup just shown, you can use your VCR to record a custom program of
selections from your stereo library. The videotape recording will give you excellent
stereo quality and a long-running tape. In this case no video will be recorded, so you
can do the whole thing without turning on the TV.
Assemble the selections you want to record on the stereo, and insert a blank VHS
cassette into the VCR. Be sure that HIFI is selected in the Initial Setup screen of the
Easy Guide System.
Press DISPLAY, then press 5 on the remote control to select SP or EP. The EP
setting gives you reasonable quality and a longer tape program.
Press AVX on the remote control to turn the LINE (L1) indicator on.
Press REC/IRT on the VCR and start the stereo playing.
To stop recording, press STOP. To play back the recording, rewind the tape and press
PLAY.

Integrating a Second VCR
With another VCR hooked up, you can copy videotapes as needed, and you can get
fancy with multimedia programming. For this discussion, we refer to the model VT-
F392A Hitachi as VCR2 and the other unit as VCR1.
Hookup
To hook up a second VCR, you need:
A video cord with a single jack on each end, and
An audio cord with two jacks on each end, or
A three-way cord that has both audio and video jacks
Study the back of VCR2 (VT-F392A) to find the three color-coded jacks that are labeled
IN. The yellow jack is for video, red and white are for audio. Locate similar jacks on
VCR1. Then, with the power:
Connect VIDEO OUT on VCR2 to the yellow VIDEO IN on VCR1.
Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks (left and right) on VCR2 to the AUDIO IN
jacks (left and right) on VCR1. Be sure to match left to left (white) and right to right
(red).Second VCR Hookup
Copying from One VCR to Another (Dubbing)
Consider VCR1 the recording VCR, and VCR2 (VT-F392A) the play-back VCR. You
will play a tape on VCR2 and record it on VCR1. To begin copying:
Insert the videotape you wish to record in VCR2.
