DUBBING
The process of recording from one audio/video
device to another is called dubbing.
An audio/video device where a signal origi-
nates is called the dubbing source. You can
use another VCR, camcorder, satellite receiv-
er, or other device with A/V outputs as the dub-
bing source, connect the dubbing source and
the VCR, then use your VCR to record the sig-
nal from the dubbing source.
Or, you can use this VCR as the dubbing
source for another VCR. See “Installation” on
Page 9 for the various possible connections.
Notes:
Always use video-quality shielded cables
with phono-type connectors to connect the
device to the VCR. Do not use standard
audio patch cords.
Most material performed in public, such as
concerts, plays, and movies, or distributed
on prerecorded video tapes is copyrighted.
The unauthorized recording or duplication
of copyrighted material is a violation of the
copyright laws of most countries and such
duplication may result in fines, imprison-
ment, or both. Note, however, that in the
United States, it is not a violation of U.S.
copyright laws for a consumer to record a
broadcast television program for private
(in-home) viewing.
To dub a tape, start playback on the dubbing
source first (see that device’s instructions) then
start recording on the recording VCR.
