Connecting a VCR
Follow these instructions to connect your VCP to a VCR so you can copy video tapes.
COPYRIGHT INFORMATION: Most material performed in public, such as concerts,
plays, and movies, or distributed on prerecorded video tapes is copyrighted. The un-
authorized recording or duplication of copyrighted material is a violation of the copy-
right laws of most countries and such duplication may result in fines and/or
imprisonment. Note, however, that in the United States, it is not a violation of U.S.
copyright laws for a consumer to record a broadcast television program for private (in-
home) viewing.
Connect the VCP’s
AUDIO
and
VIDEO OUT
jacks to the VCR’s audio and video input
jacks using video-quality shielded cables (not supplied).
Notes:
• You must use video-quality cable for this type of connection. Do not use standard
audio cable. Your local Radio Shack store sells this type of cable.
• If your TV has separate audio/video input jacks, you can connect the VCR’s
audio/video output jacks to your TV’s input jacks using another video-quality
shielded cable. This lets you watch a tape while you copy it (see “Copying a
Video Tape”).
