Advanced Operations (Second VCR)
With another VCR hooked up, you can copy videotapes
as needed, and you can
get fancy with multimedia
programming.
For this discussion,
we refer to the
model VT-FX611A
Hitachi as VCR2 and the other unit as VCR1.
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-FX611A)
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).
Second VCR Hookup
Copying
from One VCR to Another
(Dubbing)
Consider
VCR1 the recording
VCR, and VCR2 (VT-FX611A)
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 VCRiTV
button on the
remote.
The VCR indicator will light on VCRI's
display and you can view the
picture being recorded.
Putting the Record VCR in Pause
Some models of VCR will switch to the "STOP"
mode if they are left in the
RECORD/PAUSE
mode for more than five minutes.
It is a good idea not to leave
your recording
deck in RECORD/PAUSE
for more than five minutes so that this
will not happen.
