Chapter4: UsingtheAdvancedFeatures Makinga Copyof a Tape There are two basic ways to make a copy of a tape. One way is to use the HS-U760 to play a tape and use another VCR to record. The other way is to use another VCR to play a tape and the HS-U760 to record. Whichever method you choose, you will need one RCA audio cable and one RCA video cable (or one S-Video cable) to connect the two VCRs. If you do not have these cables, they are available at your local electronics retailer.
O O O If you attached the connection cables to the back of the HS-U760, use the INPUT button to set the HS-U760 to External 1 (L1). If you attached the cables to the front of the HS-U760, use the INPUT button to set the HS-U760 to External 2 (L2). O Put the tape you wart to copy into the other VCR and find the place from whic:h you want to begin copying.
