Guide to Moving through Setup Menus On the Dual Deck VCR

Steps:
1. Turn on the VCR and the monitor.

2. Press the menu button, located on the lower right side of the unit.

3. This will bring up the menu. Screen one will come up; press the menu button again to get to the features menu. Depending on what you want to adjust you will move from here.

         

4. The most common issue encountered when recording videos is the speed at which they are read or written. To get to the menu that allows you to adjust this select the tuner setup menu. This brings you to the "deck one menu."

5. To scroll through the options on the menu press the select button. To change a setting press the change button.

6. If you want to adjust the settings for the second deck of the VCR press the menu button again. It will say "deck two menu" at the top. You change the settings for deck two the same way that they are changed for the first deck.

Note: The tape length needs to be equal on both videos. If you have a movie that is two hours long and only have a one hour long tape to record onto then you will have to set the record speed lower. This will also lower the quality of the movie on the new tape. SP is regular speed. EP is Extended play  and will allow more of the movie to be put on the tape but will reduce the quality.
