You can use your VCR as the player or the recorder.
MAKE CONNECTIONS

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.

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.
