Playing Back Audio Only
To get stereo sound, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks of the
VCR to the appropriate input on your amplifier or receiver.
Do not use the phono input. Refer to your amplifier or
receiver user’s guide.
Using Two VCRs For Copying and
Editing Tapes
Use one VCR as the playback VCR and the other as the
recording VCR.
1. Connect the VCRs using the diagram at the right.
2. Turn on both VCRs and TV.
3. Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel (either 3, 4, or
TV’s video input). (See “How to Find Your TV’s Video
Input Channel” in the References section of this manual
for detailed information about video line input.)
4. If you are using coaxial cables for the connection, tune
recording VCR to channel 3 or 4—the one selected on
the playback VCR.
If you are using audio/video cables, select the line input
on the recording VCR.
5. 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.
6. Using visual search, locate the segment you want to
copy on the playback VCR. Pause the tape at this
location.
7. Press RECORD on the recording VCR, then PAUSE.
8. Press PAUSE on both VCRs to begin copying.
9. Press PAUSE on both VCRs to stop copying.
10. Repeat steps 6–9 to copy or edit additional segments.
Note that the two VCRs used in the diagram may not look exactly
like the VCRs you are connecting. The important thing is to match
the proper cable connections. Use the OUT jacks of the playback
VCR to connect to IN jacks of the recording VCR. R output jacks
connect to R INPUT jacks, L output to L input, and VIDEO out
connects to VIDEO in.
