Copying and Editing Tapes Using Two VCRs
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 its VCR viewing channel (either 3, 4, or video line input).
3.
If you connected your VCR using the RF coaxial cable jacks, tune the
recording VCR to channel 03 or 04 (whichever is selected on the playback
VCR’s CH. 3/4 switch on the back panel).
If you have connected your VCR using the A/V jacks, press INPUT on the
recording VCR’s remote control to select the video line input. Select L1 for
the jacks on the back of the VCR or L2 for the jacks on the front.
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 on the playback VCR to begin playback. When you reach the
point on the tape or program where you want to begin copying, press
PAUSE. You may need to adjust the tracking.
6.
Press the RECORD button, then press PAUSE on the recording VCR.
7.
Press the PAUSE buttons on both VCRs at the same time to begin copying
the tape.
8.
To edit segments that you do not want to copy:
•
Press PAUSE on the recording VCR to pause copying.
•
Locate the next segment you want to copy on the playback VCR by using
FWD, REV, and PLAY, and then press PAUSE to cue.
•
Press PAUSE on both VCRs at the same time to resume copying.
9.
Press STOP on both VCRs when finished.
Picture Search Options
The most basic way to search during playback is using the FORWARD or
REVERSE buttons (FWD and REV on the VCR). This section, though, contains
several other options available for searching a tape.
Forward and Reverse Search
You can perform a basic search during playback either forward or reverse.
Note: Sound is turned off during picture search.
1.
Press the FORWARD button (FWD on the VCR) to search forward or
REVERSE (REV on the VCR) to search in reverse.
2.
Press FORWARD (FWD) or REVERSE (REV) again or press PLAY to return
to normal playback.
