The DVD recorder is the modern alternative to the VCR. Unlike the latter, it allows recording on media that are commercially available these days.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a VCR, install the DVD recorder not instead of it, but as an add-on to it. This will allow you to continue to view your existing videotapes, as well as transfer your home video archive made with a VHS-C camcorder (subject to the availability of an appropriate adapter) to DVDs.
Step 2
Power off the DVD recorder, TV and VCR.
Step 3
Disconnect the antenna cable from the TV. If you have a VCR, leave the antenna connected to it, but disconnect the VCR's RF output cable from the TV.
Step 4
Connect the antenna cable or the RF output cable of the VCR to the corresponding input jack on the recorder. Connect the RF cable supplied with the recorder to the antenna output socket of the recorder, and then connect it with the opposite end to the antenna socket of the TV.
Step 5
Disconnect the low frequency cable of the VCR from the TV. Connect its output plugs to the corresponding jacks on the recorder. If necessary, use SCART-RCA or RCA-SCART adapters - homemade or ready-made.
Step 6
Connect the low-frequency output jacks of the recorder to the corresponding input jacks on your TV (if necessary, also using the adapters mentioned above).
Step 7
Plug in all appliances.
Step 8
In order to watch videos with a VCR or dub them to DVD discs, turn on the low-frequency input mode on both the TV and the recorder.
Step 9
Any dubbing of materials other than yourself should be done for personal use only. If other individuals appear in your home video archive, ask them for permission to use their images for any purpose other than personal, even if you yourself filmed.
