Copying, or Dubbing, a Video
To make a copy, or “dub,” of another video tape, you need:
• your TV/VCR
• a separate VCR (or camcorder)
• two A/V cables with connectors. (You can find these at most
electronics supply stores.)
Important warning:
One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted
TV programs may be an infringement of copyright laws.
Making the Connections
connector of the playback VCR (or camcorder) and the other end to
the VIDEO/AUDIO IN connector of the TV/VCR.
Dubbing
1
Insert the video cassette tape you want to copy into the playback
VCR (or camcorder).
2
Insert a blank video tape (or any video tape with the record safety
tab intact) into the recording TV/VCR.
3
Press LINE IN on the remote control of the recording TV/VCR.
The words “Line in” appear in the upper left corner of the TV/VCR
screen.
✔ The TV/VCR will be recording from the incoming line rather than from the

“Line in” will remain on-screen until the PLAY button is pressed on
the playback VCR.

To begin recording, simultaneously press the REC button on the
recording TV/VCR’s remote control and PLAY on the playback VCR
(or camcorder).
5
When you are finished, press STOP on both the VCR (or camcorder)
and the TV/VCR to stop recording.
6
Press LINE IN to return to normal TV viewing.
