WATCHING BROADCAST
TV
To watch broadcast TV (if you connected a
TV), press
TV/VCP so the TV/VCP indicator
turns off. Or, you can press POWER to turn
off the VCP.
Copying a Video Tape
If you connected a VCR to the VCP (see
“Connecting a VCR” on Page 9), you can use
your VCP to play back a video cassette tape
while the VCR records (copies) it. Follow
these steps to copy a video cassette tape.
1. Load a prerecorded tape into the VCP
and press STOP to prevent playback
from starting automatically.
2. Load a blank video cassette, or one you
want to record over, into the VCR.
3. If the VCR has an input select switch or
other setting to receive signals from its
AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks, set it to the
audio/video source mode.
Note: If the VCR does not have an
input select switch and you later want
to record VHF/UHF/cable channels on
the VCR, you might need to disconnect
the VCP from the VCR’s audio/video
input jacks.
4. Select the desired recording speed on
the VCR.
5. Begin recording on the VCR.
6. Press PLAY on the VCP to begin tape
playback.
7. To watch the tape while you copy it,
turn on the TV or TV/monitor. If you
connected a TV using the VCP’s
RF.OUT
jack, tune the TV to the channel (3 or 4)
to which you set the VCP’s
CHANNEL
switch.
If you want to watch broadcast TV
while dubbing, press
TV/VCP on the
remote control so the TV/VCP indicator
on the front panel turns off, then tune
to the desired station on the TV. If you
connected a TV/monitor, set the TV/
monitor to TV mode.
