Copy Recordings From Your DVR to a VCR Tape

The Copy to VCR feature lets you copy recordings from your DVR to a VCR tape.
Verify that the OUT 2 outputs are connected to your VCR inputs.
Note: This graphic shows
the 8300HD DVR back
panel layout. Other DVR
back panel layouts will vary.
Connecting to your VCR
using the OUT 2 outputs
allows you to watch or
record another program or
even change channels in
the Main screen, without
affecting the copy in progress.
Notes:
• The program that you are copying appears in the PIP window. You can turn
the PIP feature off and on without affecting the copy in progress. A "Copying to
VCR" banner displays for 3 seconds when you turn the PIP feature on.
• It is possible to record live TV directly to a VCR tape (instead of your DVR) by
connecting the main OUT 1 outputs directly to the VCR inputs. However, we
recommend that you use the method shown here to record programs to a
VCR tape.
