Advanced Operations (Second VCR)
Integrating a Second VCR
With another VCR hooked up, you can copy videotapes as needed, and you can get
fancy with multimedia programming. For this discussion, we refer to the model VT-
M181A Hitachi as VCR2 and the other unit as VCR1.
Hookup
To hook up a second VCR, you need:
A video cord with a single jack on each end, and
An audio cord with a single jack on each end, or
A two-way cord that has both audio and video jacks
Study the back of VCR2 (VT-M181A) to find the two color-coded jacks that are labeled
IN. The yellow jack is for video and white is for audio. Locate similar jacks on VCR1.
Then, with the power off:
Connect VIDEO OUT on VCR2 to the yellow VIDEO IN on VCR1.
Connect the AUDIO OUT jack on VCR2 to the AUDIO IN jack on VCR1.

operate both VCRs.

The default setting on the Setup Screen is VCR1, for when you have only one VCR
running.
