Connecting Two Vcrs - Toshiba TheaterWide 46HM95 Owner's Manual

Connecting two VCRs

You will need:
one signal splitter
three coaxial cables
two sets of standard A/V cables
• For better picture performance, if VCR 1 has S-video, use
an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the
standard video cable. However, do not connect both types
of video cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time
or the picture performance will be unacceptable.
• If VCR 1 has mono audio, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1)
to the audio out terminal on VCR 1 using the white audio cable
only.
• Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input terminals on
the TV at the same time.
To view the antenna or Cable signal:
Select the ANT-1 video input source on the TV.*
To view VCR 1:
Turn ON VCR 1. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source
on the TV.*
To dub or edit from VCR 1 to VCR 2:
Turn ON both VCRs. Set VCR 2 to the appropriate line
input (refer to your VCR owner's manual for details). Select
the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*
Note:
• If you have a Cable box, connect the Cable box and splitter to VCR1
as shown on page 14.
• The VIDEO OUT signal incorporates Macrovision
protection technology, which may prevent you from recording certain
copy-restricted video materials. * **
