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. 

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 

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 VCR/TV button on the 
remote.  The VCR indicator will light on VCR1's display and you can view the 
picture being recorded. 

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.
