Recording a Program
Using Two VCRs for Copying and Editing Tapes
Operating Instructions
(Refer to hookup on page 6.)
Use one VCR as the playback VCR and the other as the recording VCR.
1. Turn on the TV and VCRs.
2. Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel, either 3, 4, or the TV’s video
input.
3. If you connected your VCR using Option A (page 6), tune the recording
VCR to channel 3 or 4 – the one selected on the back of the playback VCR.
If you connected your VCR using Option B (page 6), press INPUT on the
recording VCR’s remote to select the line input. L appears in VCR’s
display panel.
4. Insert the tape you want to copy into the playback VCR. Insert a blank
tape with its safety tab in place into the recording VCR.
5. Press PLAY•PAUSE, then PLAY•PAUSE on playback VCR when you reach
the point on the tape or program where you want to begin copying. If the
tape was not recorded on the playback VCR, streaks may appear, and you
may need to adjust tracking.
6. Press RECORD on the VCR or REC on the remote, then PLAY•PAUSE on
the recording VCR.
7. Press the PLAY•PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the same time to begin
copying the tape.*
8. Edit out segments that you do not want to copy by pressing PLAY•PAUSE
on the recording VCR to stop copying the tape. Then, locate the next
segment you want to copy on the playback VCR by using FWD, REW and
PLAY. Press PLAY•PAUSE on the playback VCR. Press PLAY•PAUSE at
the same time on both VCRs to resume copying.
9. Press STOP•EJECT on both VCRs when you are finished.
* You may turn off the TV after the recording has started as it does not have
to be on to copy a tape.
Caution: The unauthorized
recording of television
programs and other
materials may infringe the
rights of others.
Copying and Editing Tapes Using Compatible Remote
If you have a compatible RCA or ProScan remote with VCR1 and VCR2 buttons, you can
program this VCR to respond to either VCR1 or VCR2. This lets you control both VCRs
with one remote for easier copying and editing.
Set the REMOTE CONTROL feature of this VCR to VCR1 or VCR2 position. The
compatible remote then controls the VCR with either the VCR1 or VCR2 button —
depending on the position you select in the menu.
1. Press MENU to display the VCR MAIN MENU.
2. Press 4 to display the PREFERENCES menu.
3. Press 1 to activate the REMOTE CONTROL: VCR1 or
VCR2 feature.
4. Press VCR1 or VCR2 on your compatible VCR’s remote
to change the setting and program this VCR to respond
to VCR1 or VCR2 — depending on the position you
selected in step 3.
