MAKE CONNECTIONS

Connect an AV cable between the player’s VIDEO OUT
and AUDIO OUT connectors and the recorder’s VIDEO
IN and AUDIO IN connectors.
● If using another VCR with an S-VIDEO input or
output connector, it is recommended to use the S-
VIDEO connection to minimize picture degradation
while editing.
● When using your VCR as the recorder and a monaural
VCR as the player, connect the player’s AUDIO OUT
connector to the AUDIO IN L connector on the recorder.

NOTE:
If you use your VCR as the recorder and have connected
another VCR to your VCR's S-VIDEO IN connector, you
need to set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO" at the
Function screen. Follow steps 4 – 6 from the "Edit From

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing
S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings
when dubbing from one VCR to another.
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or
from S-VHS to S-VHS.
● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-
VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently
limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape
has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS
editing.
● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the
source material is very high, the edited tape has better
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
● From S-VHS to S-VHS: A high resolution copy is made of
a high resolution original S-VHS tape with minimal
picture degradation. This is the preferred method of
video dubbing.

NOTES:
●
Be sure to set "TAPE DUB MODE" back to "OFF" when you
finish editing.
●
When "TAPE DUB MODE" is set to "ON" Active Video
Calibration is deactivated in order to provide better picture
quality edits.
●
If you use an auxiliary input to connect a cable box or DBS
receiver make sure that the correct input ("L-1", "F-1" or "S-
VIDEO") is selected after you have finished editing (
