Connecting Two Vcrs - Toshiba 36AFX63 Owner's Manual

Connecting two VCRs

This connection allows you to record (dub/edit) from "VCR 1" to
"VCR 2" (as illustrated below) while watching the videotape. You can
also record from one TV channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• two coaxial cables
• two sets of standard A/V cables

Note:
• Do not connect the same VCR to the
output and input connections on the TV
at the same time. (See the illustration at
left, which shows VCR1 connected to
VIDEO-1 IN on the TV, and VCR2
connected to A/V OUT on the TV.)
• If your VCR has S-video, you can use an
S-video cable (plus the standard audio
cables) instead of a standard video cable
for better picture quality. Do not connect
both a standard video cable and an S-video
cable to VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-3) at the
same time, or the picture performance will
be unacceptable.
• To dub or edit, VCR 2 must select Line IN,
and the TV must select Video-1.
• When recording to VCR 2 , set AUDIO
OUT to FIXED. With AUDIO OUT set to
FIXED, the TV's volume setting will not
affect the sound level being recorded. See
"Selecting fixed/variable AUDIO OUT" on
page 46.
The VIDEO OUT connection does not
*
output the PIP picture.
The AUDIO OUT connections can
**
output either FIXED or VARIABLE
audio. See "Selecting fixed/variable
AUDIO OUT" on page 46.
