Using Two VCRs to Copy
There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape.
One way is to use the HS-U778 to record and another VCR for playback.
The other way is to use another VCR to record and use the HS-U778 for playback.
Regardless of which method you may choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and one S-video cable to connect the
two VCRs. You can use either a standard RCA video cable or an S-video cable. If you do not have these cables, they are
available at your local electronics dealer. The highest quality is achieved through an S-video cable.

Using the HS-U778 to record from another VCR
1 Connect the audio cable to AUDIO OUT L and R
on the playback VCR and to AUDIO IN L and R on
the HS-U778. If the playback VCR is mono, use
only the AUDIO IN L on the HS-U778.
2 If the playback VCR is standard VHS, connect a
video cable to VIDEO OUT on the playback VCR
and to the VIDEO IN on the HS-U778.
If the playback VCR is S-VHS, connect an S-video
cable to S-VIDEO OUT on the playback VCR and
to the S-VIDEO IN on the HS-U778.
3 If the playback VCR is Hi-Fi, set the audio monitor
to Stereo.
4 Use INPUT to set the HS-U778 to External 1
(L1) if you used the HS-U778 rear panel jacks, or
External 2 (L2) if you used the HS-U778 front
panel jacks.
5 Put a blank tape into the HS-U778. If you are
recording in S-VHS, be sure to use an S-VHS tape.
Make sure that the S-VHS record or S-ET record
in the S-VHS Set-Up menu is set correctly. See
page 24, Selecting Recording Format.
Make sure that the Front S-input or Rear S-input
in the S-VHS Set-Up menu is set correctly. See
page 25, Selecting S-input Setting.
6 Put the tape you want to copy into the playback
VCR and find the cue point. Press STOP if the
picture starts playing.
7 On the HS-U778, press REC, then PAUSE.
8 On the playback VCR, press PLAY, then PAUSE.
9 Press the PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the
same time to begin copying the tape.
10 When finished, press STOP on both VCRs.
