RCA COLOR TV NCJ11 - Manual (Page 40)

Spécial Recording onto VCR
(This connection only allows you to record on the VCR whatever is cunently being displayed
on the TV screen.)
This is not a common application for recording
with your VCR, but you may find it useful in
certain situations. This connection will let you
record onto the VCR whatever is being displayed
on the TV screen such as a TV program. You’ll
also be able to record signals from another VCR
(or similar device) that is connected to the TV’s
INPUT
i or 2 jacks.
The TV must remain turned on during recording.
If you change channels on the TV, the channel
change will be recorded on the VCR tape unless
you pause the VCR during recording.
Because your TV is cable-compatible, this
application may be used to record cable-TV
programs from the TV onto a VCR that is not cable-
compatible.
You may also want to use this connection to dub or edit VCR
tapes with two or three VCR’s. By connecting one VCR (or
camcorder) to the
INPUT 1 jacks and another VCR (or
camcorder) to the
INPUT 2
jacks, you’ll be able to selectively
edit and record whatever is playing on the TV screen on to a
third VCR (or camcorder) connected as shown here to the
SELECT OUT
jacks.
If you connect a surveillance system to your monitor, you’ll be
able to record what the camera is displaying on the TV screen
by connecting a VCR (or damcorder) to the
SELECT OUT
jacks
as shown here.
'i ■ . ' - ‘
Just remember that you’ll be able to record whatever is being
displayed on the TV screen. To see the signal from a device
connected to the
INPUT 1
jacks, select channel 91. Select
channel 92 to see the signal from a device connected to the
INPUT 2 idicVs.
Notes: Signals from the S-VIDEO connector do not come thru the
SELECT OUT jacks. To record from an S-VHS component, remember
to also connect the regular video cable to the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack
and then tune to channel 91.
Menus, status displays, and special effects like picture-in-picture and
channel guide will not appear in the recording.
S-VHS (Super VHS) VCR S-VHS Cable (such as RCA #VAA020)*
Shown here is the preferred method of connecting your S-VHS
VCR to your TV. If your cable company requires a decoder
box for premium channels, refer to page 34.
Connect the S-VIDEO OUT connector on the back of the VCR
to the
S-VIDEO
connector on the back of your TV using an
S-VHS cable. Remember to connect the audio cables from the
VCR to the
INPUT 1 LEFT and RIMONO jacks on the back of
the TV. The S-VHS cable carries only video.
Note: Remember to also connect the video cable for picture-in-picture
viewing or if you plan to use the
SELECT OUT jacks for recording.
* Optional accessories are available from most RCA dealers and
electronics supply stores.
When recording from SELECT OUT jacks, tune the TV to channel 91
to see the signal from the S-VHS VCR. When displaying picture-in­
picture, the TV automatically minimizes any annoying differences in
tint between the small and large picture by electronically coupling the
S-VIDEO input to the VIDEO I input.
Operation:
• If the S-VHS VCR is connected as shown above, tune the TV
to channel 90 to view whatever the VCR is playing. The word
S-VIDEO
will appear on the TV when you select Channel 90.
• You can program your TV to automatically select channel 90
when you press the
VCRl
or
VCR2
button. Details are on
page 26.
