Advanced Operations (Second VCR)
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-UX605A 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-UX605A) 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 off:
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-UX605A) the playback 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.
Insert a blank or erasable tape (with the safety tab intact) into VCR1.
Press AVX on VCR1--the LINE indicator will display.
Press REC on VCR1, and press PLAY on VCR2.
To monitor the picture as you record, VCR1 must be connected to your TV (follow
instructions in the other VCR's manual). Press the VCR/TV button on the remote. The
VCR indicator will light on VCR1's display and you can view the picture being recorded.
Audio Dubbing
Audio dubbing is a procedure whereby you can replace sections of the linear audio
track on your tape with new audio information. During audio dubbing the video section
and the Hi-Fi audio section will not be disturbed, only the linear audio track. (see page
27 "Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback" for more information)
The new audio information can come from either a receiver,
2
a microphone, or any other
device that can generate an audio signal.
