MAKE CONNECTIONS
1
Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT
and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO
IN and AUDIO IN connectors.
● If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or output
connector, it is recommended to use the S-VIDEO
connection to minimize picture degradation while
editing.
● When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural
VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT
connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.

NOTE:
If you use your VCR as the recorder and have connected
another VCR to your VCR's S-VIDEO IN connector, you
need to set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO" at the

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing
S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings
when dubbing from one VCR to another.
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or
from S-VHS to S-VHS.
● From VHS to S-VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Record
VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the
picture quality is inherently limited by the orignal VHS
source material, the edited tape has better picture quality
than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
● From S-VHS to VHS (VIDEO-VIDEO connection): Because
the picture quality of the source material is very high, the
edited tape has better picture quality than those made by
VHS-to-VHS editing.
● From S-VHS to S-VHS (S-VIDEO connection): A high
resolution copy is made of a high resolution original S-
VHS tape with minimal picture degradation. This is the
preferred method of video dubbing.

NOTES:
●
Be sure to set "TAPE DUB MODE" back to "OFF" when you
finish editing.
●
When "TAPE DUB MODE" is set to "ON" Active Video
Calibration is deactivated in order to provide better picture
quality edits.
●
If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS
receiver make sure that the correct input ("L-1", "F-1" or "S-
VIDEO") is selected after you have finished editing (
