Introducing the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Congratulations on your purchase of Go-Video’s 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. Because a Dual-Deck VCR has two videocassette decks, operation is a little different than for the single deck VCR’s that you’re probably used to. Two Decks, One Set of Controls The key difference in operating a Dual-Deck VCR is that you have to switch control of deck functions (such as Play, Rewind, and Fast Forward) between the 8mm and VHS decks. One set of keys controls both decks.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ We’ve designed the menu system for the 8mm/VHS DualDeck VCR to do your thinking for you. When you press the menu key, the menu that appears will depend on what you’re currently seeing on your TV screen. If you are watching the VHS deck, pressing the menu key will summon the VHS menu. If you are watching the 8mm deck, the Tuner (television or cable), or Line 1 or Line 2 input, pressing the menu key will summon the Timer Record Menu.
Connecting Your Dual-Deck VCR to Your TV or Monitor Note: Your exact hookup will depend on whether or not you subscribe to cable TV, and whether you have a cable converter box or other equipment (such as a laser disc player, satellite receiver, etc). See the Reference Guide for additional hookups. You can hook up your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR in exactly the same way as you hook up any other VCR. If you already own a VCR, take a few minutes to note how this VCR is hooked up.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ 2. A cable is supplied with your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. Connect the round end of this cable to the OUT TO TV connection on the back of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. Connect the other end of the cable to the VHF IN or CABLE IN connection on the back of your TV. 3. Turn on the power for your VCR and your TV. 4. Turn your TV to channel 3. 5. Press the Tip: If you don’t see a blue screen and a menu, look on the front panel display for the word ‘VCR’ in red. It should be under ‘CH’.
Setting the Date and Time Tip: If the clock is not already set, pressing MENU will bring up the SET CLOCK MENU. If the clock is set, you can get into the SET CLOCK MENU from the SETUP MENU. SET MONTH : 01 J A N 1994 SU MO TU WE 2 9 16 23 30 3 10 17 24 31 4 11 18 25 5 12 19 26 TH 6 13 20 27 12:00 AM FR SA 1 8 7 14 15 21 22 28 29 If you plan on using the Timer Record and the Date and Time Stamp features of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR, you’ll need to set the correct date and time.
Setting the Antenna and Channel Memory Once you have your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR hooked up to your antenna or cable system, you’ll need to set the antenna and the channel memory: 1. Press MENU on your remote control until the SETUP MENU appears on your screen. You may have to press MENU more than once. TUNER/CHANNEL MENU - STD CATV 1: ANTENNA IN 2: AUTO PROGRAM 3: SET CHANNEL MEMORY - STEREO 4: TUNER AUDIO MENU KEY FOR PREV MENU SELECT KEY TO CHOOSE ARROW KEYS TO CHANGE 2.
Playing a Tape Note: Do not attempt to insert an 8mm tape into the VHS deck. Playing a tape on your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR is simple: 1. Insert an 8mm tape into the left-hand 8mm deck, or a VHS tape into the right-hand VHS deck of your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR. ➤ If the tape is a play-only tape, it will automatically begin to play when inserted. Note: A play-only tape is a VHS tape in which the Record Safety Tab has been removed, or an 8mm tape in which the red Record Safety Tab is visible.
Copying a Tape Tip: Make sure the Record Safety Tab on the VHS tape is intact. If it’s missing, and you’re sure you want to record onto that tape, you can put a piece of adhesive tape over the hole. Use the Copy TapeTM feature to copy an 8mm tape onto a VHS tape: 1. Make sure the VHS tape is long enough to record the entire 8mm tape. You can increase the recording time on the VHS tape by changing the RECORD SPEED in the VHS MENU (LP is twice as long as SP; SLP is three times as long as SP.) 2.
Recording a TV Program You can record TV shows onto a VHS tape with your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR. 1. Insert a blank VHS tape. Make sure it is long enough to tape the whole program. You can change the length of the VHS tape by changing the RECORD SPEED in the VHS MENU (LP doubles the recording time relative to SP; SLP triples the recording time relative to SP). 2. On the Dual-Deck VCR (or cable converter box if you have one), select the channel that you want to record. 3.
Setting the Timer to Record Later You can program your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR to record TV shows at a later time. You can program up to eight Timer Recording ‘events’ (shows), for weeks, months, or years in advance. Note: You must have the VCR’s clock set to the correct date and time for Timer Recording to work. To program a Timer Recording: 1. Press MENU on the remote control until you get to the TIMER RECORD MENU. If the TV View is set to the VHS deck, you will have to press MENU more than once.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Note: If you have a cable converter box, set the CH in this menu to the channel of your cable box output (call your cable company for this information). Then, use the cable converter box to set the channel of your TV program. Note: You can press at any time during Timer Record programming to cancel all your changes and exit out of the menu system. QUIT Source for the event • Press 1 to select CH to record a TV or cable TV channel.
Recording a Date and Time Stamp You can record the Date and Time of a regular or Timer Recording from the TV at the beginning of your VHS recording. Combined with the VHS Index Search System, the Date and Time Stamp allows you to easily find a specific program on a tape with many programs recorded on it. To activate the Date and Time Stamp: 1. Press MENU until the AMERICHROME COPY MENU appears. If the VHS deck is your current TV View, you will have to press MENU more than once.
Automatic Assembly Editing Tip: See the Videotape Editing section of the Reference Guide for more information on editing. Editing your 8mm tapes onto VHS tapes is a breeze with the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s Automatic Assembly Editing System. Just use the Automatic Editing keys on the remote control or front panel to mark the beginning and end of up to eight individual scenes on your 8mm tape. Think of marking the beginning and end of scenes as putting “parentheses” around the scene.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Note: If there is any information in the Scene Edit List, you won’t be able to reset the 8mm Tape Counter or eject the 8mm tape using the remote control. This is a safeguard to prevent you from accidentally losing your scene information. Use the front panel 8mm STOP / EJECT key if you need to eject the tape. This clears all scene information. You can also press MEMORY while in the Scene Edit List to clear all information. 6.
Manual Editing Tip: See the Videotape Editing section of the Reference Guide for more information on editing. Sometimes you will need or prefer to do some editing manually, rather than by using the Automatic Assembly Editing System. For example, you might want to edit out certain portions of a tape while you watch it. Or, you might want to mix together scenes from different 8mm tapes onto a VHS tape.
Adding New Audio You can use your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR to add new audio to your VHS tapes. Use Audio Insert while copying to get the audio signal from someplace other than the 8mm deck (for example, from your stereo system). Use Audio Dub to copy over the audio on an existing VHS tape. See the Adding New Audio section of the Reference Guide for more information. You may want to turn on your On Screen Display to monitor what you are doing.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Audio Dub Tip: Turn HIFI AUDIO in the VHS MENU to ON if you want to monitor the old audio during the dubbing process. Turn HIFI AUDIO to OFF if you want to monitor the new audio from Line 1. 1. Connect the source of your new audio (a tape player, for example) to the Line 1 (front panel) audio input jacks on the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. See the Audio Connections section of the Reference Guide for hookup instructions. 2. Insert the VHS tape. 3. Press PLAY . 4.
Custom Titling You can create a title or caption of up to two lines, 16 characters each, and record it onto a VHS tape. You must apply the title while you are recording from TV or from an 8mm tape. There are two steps to Custom Titling. First, compose the title. Second, record the title onto your tape. Composing a Custom Title 1. Press MENU until the AMERICHROME COPY MENU appears. If your current TV View is VHS, you will have to press MENU more than once. _ - abcdefg - hijklmn - opqrstu - vwxyz.

Note: Set the tape speed to SP (press 1 ) , LP (press 2 , or SLP (press 3 ). On a T-120 tape, these settings will give you 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours of recording time, respectively.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Timer Record Priorities Your Dual-Deck VCR must prioritize your Timer Record Events if you have accidentally set the Timer to record different events at the same time. If there is a Timer Record Event conflict, the Dual-Deck VCR will: 1. Give priority to the event with the latest starting time. An event in progress will be interrupted by an event with a later starting time. 2. Give priority to the event with the highest event number.
Videotape Editing With your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR, you can edit your 8mm tapes onto VHS tapes quickly and easily. Your editing may be as complicated as shooting many scenes, reviewing the tape, deciding on a final format and putting it back together, or as simple as removing unwanted scenes from your camcorder recording. Professional videotape editors perform two types of edits: Assembly Editing and Insert Editing.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ As you mentally break your 8mm tape up into segments, write down the Tape Counter positions for the beginning and end of each segment, and what is happening in the segment. Here is an example of notes for an assembly edit: 00:01:08 to 00:03:34 Josh opening birthday present - toy car. 00:03:34 to 00:04:00 Jiggled the camera - delete this part. 00:04:00 to 00:06:23 Josh opening present tool kit. 00:06:23 to 00:10:30 Josh and Mary playing with toys.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Tip: If you play the 8mm tape too far, you can Rewind it and then play back to your Begin or End point. You can also Pause the 8mm deck, and then press the Begin or End key. However, Automatic Assembly Editing works best when you do as little "finetuning" of your tape location as possible. Try to avoid playing and backing up too much, and your edit points will be much more accurate. The Scene List number will automatically move to Scene 2.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Tip: Make sure that the RECORD SPEED in the VHS MENU is set to the same speed that the rest of the VHS tape was recorded at. (Changing speeds in the middle of a tape causes a glitch. If you’re uncertain about the recording speed, look on the On Screen Display.) then press PAUSE to Still the playback. If you need to, fine-tune this location using Rewind, Slow-Motion playback, or Frame Advance. 4. Press to put the VHS deck into Record Pause. RECORD ➤ The TV View will revert to the Tuner.

An important difference between Assembly Editing and Insert Editing is that with Insert Editing, you are editing onto a tape that already has material on it. In fact, you cannot perform an Insert Edit unless there is already control track on the target tape. In an Insert Edit, you are always laying down new video or linear audio over existing video and audio.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ “sharpness” while some video enhancers include additional controls for “outline”, “brightness”, “color” and “tint”. Usually, the price of the video enhancer determines what controls you’ll have to adjust. In addition, the top of the line video enhancers include automated controls for “split screen”, “fade” and other special effects. By using a video enhancer, you can adjust the various controls to compensate for a poorly recorded original tape.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Method #2 Note: Note: If you have a monitor-style television set, you can monitor the effect your video enhancer has on your recording by sending the output of your enhancer to both the VHS recording and to your TV monitor. In order to do this, you will need to purchase a “video distribution amplifier”. Because of the nature of video output signals, one video source must go through a small amplifier to go to two places.
8mm and VHS Formats VHS Tape Audio Track Video Tracks Control Track VHS Format VHS videotape is 1/2" magnetic tape that carries three ‘tracks’: a linear audio (sound) track, a video (picture) track, and a control track. The video track also contains the Hi-Fi audio. Linear Audio Track You can think of the linear audio track as a sort of audio cassette tape that is attached to the videotape and carries the sound.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Hi-Fi Audio Hi-Fi audio is recorded along with video on the video track of a VHS tape. In pre-recorded tapes, the sound will be recorded in two places: once on the linear audio track, and once as Hi-Fi audio on the video track. Hi-Fi audio quality is far superior. You need a VCR with Hi-Fi capability (such as your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR) to play and record this HiFi audio; a VCR without Hi-Fi will play the linear audio track only.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Record Safety Tab VHS Tape Cassette Record Safety Tab Both VHS and 8mm tapes have record safety tabs, to protect you from accidentally recording over your tapes. On a VHS tape, you break the record safety tab off to prohibit recording. If you later wish to record on that tape, you can put a small piece of adhesive tape over the opening. On an 8mm tape, you can slide the tab open and closed. If the tab is open, you will be able to record on the tape.
Tape Counter & Memory Stop Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Tape Counter allows you to note the location of specific sections of your tapes and find them quickly later. This Tape Counter counts in real time— hours, minutes, and seconds. You can see the Tape Counter for both decks on the On Screen Display. You can see the Tape Counter for the active deck on the Front Panel Display by pressing the CLK/CTR key on the remote control.
VHS Index Search System The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR uses the VHS Index Search System (VISS). This system is the VHS standard, so you can use the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s index system with tapes made on other VCRs and VHS camcorders that also use the VISS system. VHS INDEX SCAN The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an Index Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You can also place Index marks during recording by pressing INDEX .
Connecting Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Your exact hookup will depend on whether or not you subscribe to cable, and whether you have a cable converter box or other equipment (such as a laser disc player, satellite, etc). However, the basic idea is the same no matter what kind of hookup you need. The key is this: the signal (whether antenna, cable, or satellite) coming into your house needs two things for the program to appear on your TV. These two things are cables and tuners.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ way. This box will always broadcast on either channel 2, 3, or 4. Call your cable company to find out which of these three channels they use. If your cable converter box leads to your VCR, you will need to tune your VCR to channel 2, 3, or 4. If your cable converter box leads directly to your TV, you will tune your TV to channel 2, 3, or 4. Basic Hookup 1. Place your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR next to your TV and plug the VCR power cord into a wall outlet.

▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Cable Converter Box Hookup Use this hookup if you have a converter box with your cable system. You will be able to record any cable channel which you subscribe to, and watch that channel. With this hookup, you must always keep your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR tuned to the same channel (2, 3, or 4; see p.54 in this Guide). You will change channels on the cable converter box. You will also select the channel for a timer recording on the cable converter box. 1.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ 8. Set the channel on the front display panel of your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR to 2, 3, or 4. Call your cable company to find out which of these channels to use. 9. Use your cable converter box to select any channel. Tip: If you are not getting a good picture, try changing your TV and the switch on the back of the Dual-Deck VCR to channel 4. ➤ You should be getting a picture! 10. Press MENU to set the clock, the antenna, and the channel memory (see these sections in this Guide).
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ 1. Place your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR next to your TV and plug the VCR power cord into a wall outlet. Disconnect all antenna and cable connections. 2. Using the cable supplied with your cable converter box, connect the round end of this cable to the OUT TO TV connection on the back of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. Connect the other end of the cable to the input connection on the back of your cable converter box. 3. A cable is supplied with your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ 6. Attach the cable that comes out of your wall to the IN FROM ANTENNA connection on the back of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. ➤ With TV/VCR on VCR, you should see the channel that the VCR is tuned to. With TV/VCR on TV, you should see the channel that the cable converter box is tuned to. To view any basic or premium channel, set your DualDeck VCR’s TV/VCR selector to TV (or turn off your DualDeck VCR). Select the desired channel on the cable converter box.
Audio Connections Listening to TV and VCR Audio on Your Stereo System Note: You can connect your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR to your stereo system, and hear your 8mm and VHS tapes and those TV programs that are broadcast with MTS Stereo Sound through your stereo speakers. Or, if you have a stereo TV with separate audio input jacks, you can connect the DualDeck VCR audio output to your stereo TV and enjoy stereo sound.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Recording Simulcast Stereo with your TV Programs Sometimes the stereo audio portion of a TV broadcast will be simultaneously broadcast (“Simulcast”) on a radio station in your area. You can listen to this stereo audio and record it from the radio onto your VHS tape by connecting your 8mm/ VHS Dual-Deck VCR AUDIO IN to the audio output of your stereo system. 1.
Adding New Audio You can use your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR to add new audio to your VHS tapes. There are two separate places on a VHS tape where audio is recorded, the Hi-Fi track and the linear audio track. There are two corresponding methods for adding new audio. Audio Insert copies audio from another source onto the Hi-Fi track while copying video from the 8mm deck, and Audio Dub copies over old audio on the linear track.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Audio Insert Tip: You may want to turn on your On Screen Display to monitor the Insert and Dub events. You may also want to turn AUTO PLAY/REW off to keep control of the deck functions. The display will not be recorded onto your tape. 1. Connect the source of your new audio (a tape player, for example) to the Line 1 (front panel) or Line 2 (rear panel) audio input jacks on the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR. See the Audio Connections section of the Reference Guide for hookup instructions. 2.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ Tip: Turn HIFI AUDIO in the VHS MENU to ON if you want to monitor the old audio during the dubbing process. Turn HIFI AUDIO to OFF if you want to monitor the new audio from Line 1. 7. Press ➤ DUB . DUB on the Front Panel Display will be ON. The On Screen Display will say DUB REC. The audio from Line 1 will record onto the VHS tape, replacing the existing audio. 8. Press STOP to stop Audio Dubbing.
Monitor Connections Note: Some Dual-Deck VCR owners may have a monitor style TV. Monitor style TV’s offer improved picture and sound quality over standard TV’s, because they receive the video and audio signal directly from the VCR. A standard TV receives the video and audio signal from the VCR indirectly, through what is called an RF modulator. This is a miniature broadcasting station in your VCR that sends the signal to your TV.
Connecting Other Video Equipment You can connect your other video equipment to your 8mm/ VHS Dual- Deck VCR by using the Video and Audio input jacks. One set of input jacks (Line 1) is located on the front of your VCR, below the 8mm deck. A second set of jacks (Line 2) is located on the back of your VCR. Connect another VCR, a laser disc player, a video camera or camcorder, or a satellite receiver to your 8mm/VHS DualDeck VCR using the LINE 2 VIDEO and AUDIO IN connection on the 8mm/VHS VCR rear panel.

Help “I’m not getting a picture.” “The picture is bad.” First, make sure that the TV/VCR key is set to VCR and that your TV is set to channel 3 or 4, whichever channel is set on the back of your VCR. You can use the TV/VCR key on the remote control. If the picture is bad while watching the VCR and your TV is set to channel 3 or 4, try adjusting the fine tuning on your TV.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ “My remote control isn’t working.” There are several things which could cause your remote control to not function properly. First, make sure that you are aiming the remote control directly at the VCR. Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote control and the VCR, so the “beam” from the remote control is not obstructed on its path to the VCR. Make sure the batteries in your remote control are fresh, and installed properly.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ “My On Screen Display has a message that says LOAD, DRUM or REEL ERROR.” The VCR has had difficulty with the tape loading mechanism. To reset, turn the power off, and on again. If this does not clear the error, unplug the VCR from the wall and inspect both tape slots for foreign objects or crooked tapes. “Sometimes I can’t EJECT a tape using my remote control.
