How do I duplicate a VHS tape…

…Using two VCR’s?

1. Turn on monitors and VCR’s.
2. Pull door down and insert ORIGINAL tape in top VCR. Press PLAY.
   • At this point the picture should appear on BOTH monitors (black and white).
   • If not, pull down door on lower VCR and locate INPUT SELECT button.
   • Press repeatedly to select L1 and picture appears.
   • Monitor on right will display “LINE 1″ logo.
3. Insert blank tape into lower VCR.
4. For best quality, record in SP speed. SP speed is strongly recommended for all on campus uses.
5. Cue tapes as desired.
6. For straight copying, first press RECORD on lower VCR, then PLAY on top VCR.
7. For editing, use the PAUSE on the lower VCR rather than STOP. Cue up the top tape and un-pause lower tape to start recording again.

Cautions and Notes:

• BOTH VCR’s can record.
• Take care to not record over and erase your tape.
• Only the left audio can be heard, but both left and right will copy.
• Monitors are monochrome, but your copy will be color.

…Using a camcorder and a VCR?

If you have your own patch cord, you can use either VCR to dub/edit from your camcorder.

1. Below the large tape door is a small flap hiding the #2 Input.
2. Connect your camcorder.
3. Pull down large door. Press INPUT SELECT until L2 and your picture appear on the appropriate monitor.
4. Cue tapes.
5. Press RECORD on the VCR, and PLAY on the camcorder.

You can make two VHS copies if you wish.

1. Connect your camcorder to the upper VCR and you will be able to record on both VHS decks.
2. You can dub a new audio tract on this unit.
