VCR Operation

20

To make a copy, or “dub” of a video, you need two VCRs and two RCA-type cables. 

Warning: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs may be an infringement of
copyright laws 

1

Set your new Samsung VCR to record, and the other

VCR to play back. You have a choice between using the

LINE 1 jacks on the rear of the VCR, or the LINE 2 jacks
on the front of the VCR.  If you use the LINE 2 jacks on  
the front, the VCR will automatically switch the input 
mode to Line 2. If necessary, you can change this by 
pressing the LINE IN button on the remote control.  

Note: If your VCR doesn’t have jacks on the front   

[VR8509(C), VR8609(C)], “LINE” will be displayed
on the screen.

2

Attach one end of the first cable to the Video OUT jack

of the playback VCR and the other end to the Video In
jack of the record VCR.

3

Attach one end of the Audio cable to the Audio OUT

jacks on the playback VCR, and the other end to the
Audio IN jacks on the record VCR. 

4

Press play on the playback VCR, and record on the

recording VCR. 

Note: Rental tapes with Copyguard protection cannot 

be copied. Before you copy a rental tape, check

first.
