Use one VCR as the playback VCR and the other as the recording VCR.
1. Turn on the TV and VCRs.
2. Tune TV to the VCR viewing channel, either 3, 4, or TV’s video input.
3. If you have connected your VCR using Option A (page 6), tune recording
VCR to channel 3 or 4 — the one selected on the back of the playback VCR.
If you have connected your VCR using Option B (page 6), press INPUT on
recording VCR to select the line input.
4. Insert the tape you want to copy into playback VCR. Insert a blank tape
with safety tab in place into recording VCR.
5. Press PLAY, then 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

tape.*

. Press
PAUSE on the playback VCR. Press PAUSE at the same time on both
VCRs to resume copying.
9. Press STOP 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.
Copying and Editing Using Compatible Remote
If you have a compatible RCA, ProScan, or GE remote with VCR1
and VCR2 buttons, you can program this VCR to respond to VCR1
(VCR2).
This allows you to control both VCRs with one remote for
easier copying and editing.
Set the Remote Control feature of this VCR to the VCR1 or
VCR2
position. The remote then controls the VCR with
either the VCR1 or VCR2 button — whichever position
you select in the menu.
1 . Press MENU to display the VCR MAIN MENU.
2 . Press 4 to display PREFERENCES.
3. Press 1 to activate the Remote Control feature.
4 . Press VCR1 or VCR2 on your compatible remote to
change the setting and program this VCR to respond to
the VCR1 or VCR2 button — whichever you select.
