To duplicate a tape using AmeriChrome Copy™ follow these four simple
steps.
①
Insert into Deck 1 the tape to be duplicated.
Press the Deck 1 Stop/Eject button if the tape begins to Auto Play.
≠
Insert into Deck 2 a blank tape of sufficient length to record the tape in
Deck 1. The record safety tab must be intact on the blank tape.
∏
Press the Copy Tape™ button.
The Copy Tape indicator will light on the Front Panel. The On-Screen
Display will indicate “Amer Copy” and the AmeriChrome Copy Mode
being used.
π
Press the Copy Tape button a second time to stop the duplication.

During AmeriChrome Copy 2, the recording speed of Deck 2 will
automatically be set to match the play speed of Deck 1. Otherwise the
duplicated tape will be recorded at the preset menu speed for that deck. To
use AmeriChrome Copy 2, the original tape must be in Deck 1, and have
been recorded at SP or LP speed.
When using AmeriChrome Copy 1, you can change the speed of the
recording to fit more programming on a tape. For example, three two-hour
tapes made at SP could be duplicated on one two-hour tape at EP. See page
23 to change the recording speed and AmeriChrome Copy settings, this
may be done during a duplication.
If the play speed of the original tape is EP, or the copy is not from Deck 1
to Deck 2, AmeriChrome Copy 1 will automatically be used regardless of
the menu setting.
For best results, duplicate tapes that were recorded in SP or LP. The quality
of your duplicate is directly related to the quality of your original. Go-Video
recommends recording onto high quality tapes (SVHS, HQVHS) to improve
the quality of your copies.
To simplify duplicating a tape, first turn off Auto Play (see page 23). This
prevents tapes from playing each time they are inserted.
You can duplicate tapes with Copy Tape even if your TV is turned off.

If you wish to record onto a tape with a
missing record safety tab, place a small
piece of adhesive tape over the hole.
