The Copy to VCR feature lets you copy recordings from your DVR for iO TV to a 
VCR tape.

Warning: Avoid electric shock. Unplug all electronic
devices before connecting or disconnecting any
device cables to the DVR for iO TV.

Verify that the 

OUT 2

outputs are connected 
to your VCR inputs.

Note

: This graphic 

shows the HD-DVR for
iO TV back panel layout.
The DVR for iO TV back
panel is slightly 
different.

The program that you 
are copying appears in 
the PIP window. Connecting to your VCR using the 

OUT 2

outputs allows you 

to watch or record another program or even change channels in the Main 
screen, without affecting the copy in progress.

Notes

:

You can turn the PIP feature off and on without affecting the copy in 
progress. A “Copying to VCR” banner will be displayed for 3 seconds when 
you turn the PIP feature on.

You can still record live TV directly to a VCR tape (instead of your 
DVR for iO TV) by connecting the DVR for iO TV 

OUT 2

outputs directly to

the VCR inputs and not using the 

Copy a Recording to a VCR Tape

instructions on page 12. Recording live TV directly to your VCR causes the
VCR to record all remote control activities, including information banners
and on-screen displays such as when
