Advanced Operations (Second VCR)
Hookup
To hook up a second VCR, you need:
A video cord with a single jack on each end, and
An audio cord with two jacks on each end, or
A three-way cord that has both audio and video jacks
Study the back of VCR2 (VT-S772A) to find the three color-coded jacks that are
labeled IN. The yellow jack is for video, red and white are for audio. Locate similar
jacks on VCR1. Then, with the power off.
Connect VIDEO OUT on VCR2 to the yellow VIDEO IN on VCR1.
Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks (left and right) on VCR2 to the AUDIO IN jacks (left
and right) on VCR1. Be sure to match left to left (white) and right to right (red).
If the VCR1 (recording VCR) has an S-VIDEO IN jack, connect it to the S-VIDEO
OUT jack of the VCR2 (playback VCR) for a better picture.

To control Both VCRs with the Remote Control
If the second VCR that you've hooked up is also a Hitachi, you can set your remote to
operate both VCRs.
Press GUIDE, then press 1 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.
The default setting on the Initial Setup screen is VCR1, for when you have only one
VCR running.
Press 4 to set VCR CODE to VCR2.
Press the VCR1/2 button on the remote to display the VCR2 in the remote display
before pressing GUIDE to exit the on-screen program.
With this setting, the remote control can now operate both VCRs. To switch control
from one to the other, simply press VCR1/2 on the remote. Remember to aim the
remote at the selected VCR.
Copying from One VCR to Another (Dubbing)
Consider VCR1 the recording VCR, and VCR2 (VT-S772A) the playback VCR. You
will play a tape on VCR2 and record it on VCR1. To begin copying:
Insert the videotape you wish to record in VCR2.
Insert a blank or erasable tape (with the safety tab intact) into VCR1.

Press AVX on VCR1 - the LINE indicator will display.
Press REC on VCR1, and press PLAY on VCR2.
To monitor the picture as you record, VCR1 must be connected to your TV (follow
instructions in the other VCR's manual). Press the VCR/TV button on the remote. The VCR
indicator will light on VCR1's display and you can view the picture being recorded.
Audio Dubbing
Audio dubbing is a procedure whereby you can replace sections of the linear audio
track on your tape with new audio information. During audio dubbing the video section
and the Hi-Fi audio section will not be disturbed, only the linear audio track. (see page
29 "Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback" for more information).
The new audio information can come from either a receiver,
other device that can generate an audio signal.
