Connection: CopyThis! should be connected between your playback camcorder,
VCR or DVD and the recording VCR or DVD as shown in Fig. 1. Only the video
cables are to be connected to CopyThis!. Audio cables should be connected directly
between the playback and recording units. With Hi-8 or S-VHS capability, connect
your S-video cables to CopyThis!.
Operation: Select A/V input on your recording VCR and press
RECORD. Then press PLAY on your playback device.
Note on AV Input Modes: All
VCR’s have at least one AV input mode; many have
more than one. There will be a switch or button on
the VCR that will toggle between the Tuner Mode
and AV Modes. Manufacturers use different names
to identify the AV Mode: External Mode (EXT),
Auxiliary Mode (AUX) or Line Input. (L1, L2 etc.) Consult the VCR’s user manual to
identify the AV Mode for your unit.
B & W - CopyThis! can also give your home videos an old-time look by eliminating
color and creating black and white video. Slide the switch located on the rear panel,
from color to black and white to achieve this effect. Note: Some color flashing may
occur with some video sources.
Video Output Level – You can manually adjust the video output level by turning the
Video Output Level Adjust knob on the front panel. Increase the brightness of the
video output level by turning the knob as needed. Leave in center position for
normal video
Video Input Level Lights – These lights indicate the video level of the input signal.
It is normal for the lights to fluctuate on different scenes or tapes.
