VCR Connections (continued)
This is not a common application for
recording with your VCR, but you may
find it useful in certain situations. This
connection will let you record onto the
VCR whatever is being displayed on the
TV screen such as a TV program. You’ll
also be able to record signals from
another VCR (or similar device) that is
connected to the TV’s INPUT 1 or 2
jacks.
The TV must remain turned on during
recording. If you change channels on the
TV, the channel change will be recorded
on the VCR tape unless you pause the
VCR during recording.
Because your TV is cable-compatible, this
application may be used to record cable-TV
programs from the TV onto a VCR that is not cable-
compatible.
You may also want to use this connection to dub or edit VCR
tapes with two or three VCRs. By connecting one VCR (or
camcorder) to the INPUT 1 jacks and another VCR (or
camcorder) to the INPUT 2 jacks, you’ll be able to selectively
edit and record whatever is playing on the TV screen onto a
third VCR (or camcorder) connected as shown here to the
SELECT OUT jacks.
To see the signal from a device connected to the INPUT 1 jacks,
select channel 91. Select channel 92 to see the signal from a
device connected to the INPUT 2 jacks.
Notes: Signals from the S-VIDEO connector do not come thru the
SELECT OUT jacks. To record from an S-VHS component, remember
to also connect the regular video cable to the VIDEO INPUT 1 jack
and then tune to channel 91.

Shown here is one method of connecting your S-VHS VCR to

of the VCR to the S-VIDEO connector on the back of your TV
using an S-Video cable. Remember to connect the audio
cables from the VCR to the INPUT 1 LEFT and R/MONO
jacks on the back of the TV. The S-Vide cable carries only
video.
Note: Remember to also connect the video cable if you plan to use
the SELECT OUT jacks for recording. When recording from SELECT
OUT jacks, tune the TV to channel 91 to see the signal from the S-
VHS VCR.
Operation: If the S-VHS VCR is connected as shown above,
tune the TV to channel 90 to view whatever the VCR is playing.
The word S-VIDEO will appear on the TV when you select
