How to connect to record on this VCR
Notes
• Make sure you connect the plugs to jacks of the same color.
• If you connected this VCR to both the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the other VCR, 
select the input correctly to prevent a humming noise.
• If the other VCR is a monaural type and connected to this VCR’s LINE-2 IN jacks, connect 
the audio plug to the AUDIO L (white) jack.  The sound is recorded on both right and left 
channels.  If you connect to the AUDIO R (red) jack, the sound is recorded only on the right 
channel.
• You can use the LINE-1 IN jacks for editing.  If the other VCR is a monaural type, the sound 
is recorded only on the channel whose jack is connected to the audio plug.  To record on both 
right and left channels, connect the audio plugs to the AUDIO R/L jacks using a VMC-
910HG audio/video cable (not supplied).
