Connecting two VCRs

This connection allows you to record (dub/edit) from one VCR to
another VCR.
You will also be able to 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 jacks on the TV at the same time.
For better picture quality, if your VCR has
S-video, you can use an S-video cable
instead of the standard video cable. Do not
connect a standard video cable and an
S-video cable to VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2)
simultaneously.

The unauthorized recording, use, distribu-
tion or revision of television programs,
videotapes, DVDs, and other materials is
prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the
United States and other countries, and may
subject you to civil and criminal liability.
