MaRe Picture Perfect Copies
with Hi=FiAudio of Any Video
Tape at the Touch of a Button
Go-Video's Dual-f)eck '_'VCRs do things that even two
VCRs wired together can't do. The secret behind this
marvel of American electronics is Go-Video's patented
AmeriChrome''
circuitry.
Enhanced AmeriChrome circuitry incorporates an
advanced microcontroller
that synchronizes deck
speeds for optimum duplication resuRs. Using
Go-Video Dual-Deck VCRs, your video copies will
be indistinguishable
from the originals. No matter
how many copies you make, each new tape will be
crisp and clean.
Gone are the days of tangled clumsy cables between
two VCR decks. Gone is the loss of picture quality from
those intervening cables that degrade the signal. Gone
is the flutter, roll and flashing of bad copies.
Go-Video Dual-Deck VCRs, with enhanced
AmeriChrome circuitry, allow you to make clear,
quality copies of any video tape %r your own personal
or home use at the touch of a button.

a vibrating rainbow ot color in the middle
of t,ge picture, and sound can become
unstable for a few seconds.

Your Dual-Deck VCR Tape Counter allows you to note
the location of specific sections of your tapes and find

CHAPTER3 - PROGRAMMING YOURDUAL-DECKVCR 41

42 DISCOVER
THE
DUAL-DECK
DIFFERENCE

To determine the hookup
you need:
1.

If you don't have a ('able
system, (_se the Basic
Connections.
IfyotJ have a cable system
but no converter
box, use
the Basic Cable Connections.
If you have a cable system
with a converter
box (some
or all channels
are scrambled
or premimn),
tJse Cable
Converter
Box HooktJp (or
Alternative
Ca ble Converter
Box Hookup).

Your exact
subscribe
converter
idea is the

hookup will depend on whether
or not you
to ('able, and whether
you have a cable
box or other equipment.
However,
the basic
same.

The signal (whether
antenna,
cable, or satellite)
coming into yo_r ho_Jse needs two things for the
program
to appear on your TV: cables and tuners.
FL'ts_, the signal

travels

through

a cable.

Secr)nd, the signal goes to a device with a tuner
such
as your TV or VCR. The t_mer selects the one channel
that yo_J are watching
fiom the many channels
that
yo_ have available.
ARer yo_ have chosen the desired channel
with this
tuner, the device may convert
the signal into the
audio and video that yo_ see on yo_Jr television
screen, or it may rebroadcast
the signal, on a 1)re-set
channel,
to another
device.
For ex_m/;]e, a cable may go into a device with a tuner
(a cable box or VCR) and have a cable going fiom this
device into another
tuner s_ch as your TV. This
means that the channel
selected
on the first tuner
(Cable box or VCR) is the one that the second tuner
(TV) will pick up. This is why yotJ select your TV
channels
_Jsing yo_Jr VCR remote control. The signal is
coming to the VCR which tunes in the channel
yo_J
select and sends that channel
to the TV. This is also
why, if you have a ('able converter
channels
using the cable converter

box, you select
box.

When one t_mer sends a signal f_}r a channel
to the
next t_mer, the first tuner always _Jses a particular
channel
of its own to broadcast
on. For example,
yo_Jr
VCR uses either channel
3 or 4. If your VCR is set to
broadcast
on channel
3, you must set your TV to
channel
3 to receive this signal.
So, to watch TV channel
12, yo_J wo_Jld tune in channel
12 on your VCR and channel
3 or yo_Jr TV. Your converter
box, if you have one, works the same way.
CHAPTER4 - CONNECTING YOURDUAL-DECKVCR 4:3

Your Dual-Deck VCR connects to your TV and
antenna in exactly the same way as any other VCR.
If you already own a VCR, take a few minutes to note
how the VCR is hooked up. Then simply swap the
Dual-Deck with your old VCR using the same settings
and connections.
Here are some things you should take note of in your
current hookup:
1. Which cable attaches to the VCR's ANTENNA
.jack on the back of the VCR.
2. Which cable attaches
back of the VCR.
NOTE:
For proper ventilation, your Dual-Deck
VCR needs at least 3/8"clearance
aft
around it. Make sure you have enough
morn on your shelfto provide
this clearance.

to the TV OUT jack on the

3. Which channel

your TV is tuned to (to watch the VCR).

4. Which channel

(3 or 4) is set on the back of your VCR.

5. If you have a cable converter box leading into your
VCR, you will need to note which channel (2, 3 or 4)
your VCR is tuned to.

"l can't record from my TW'
When the VCR is in VCR mode and your TV is set
to channel 3 or 4, you should be able to view the
desired channel on your TV. If you have a cable
converter box, make sure the VCR is tuned to the
cable converter box output channel.

"l can't timer record/'
Make sure that your Dual-Deck VCR's clock is set to
the proper time. Double check the AM/PM setting. If
you have a cable converter box, make sure the timer
record channel setting in the TIMER RECORD menu
is set to the cable converter box output channel (2, 3
or 4) and the cable box is set to the channel you want
to record.

"My remote ¢ontrN

There are several things which could cause yore
remote control not to function properly. First, make
sure you are aiming the remote control directly at the
VCR. Make stlre there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the VCR so the 'beam' is not
obstructed. Also, the signal fl'Oil* the remote can be
obstructed if a very strong light source, such as
sunlight, falls on the front panel of the VCR. Finally,

Make sure there is a Record Safety Tab on your tape.
If the tab is missing,
yolJ can place a small piece of
transparent
tape over the hole. This will allow you to
copy or record onto the tape.

DISCOVERTHE DUAL-DECKDIFFERENCE

"Sometimes the tape begins to Nay or
rewind when l don't want it to/_
This Dual-Deck VCR can automatically
play a tape
(with no record safety tab in place) whenever you load
it, and it will automatically
rewind the tape when it
reaches the end. AUTO PLAY/REWIND can be turned
on or off via the AUTO PLAY/REWIND selection in the
SET UP menu.
Also, when EZ COPY in the FEATURES menu is on,

be disabled by pushing the STOP key on Deck Two.

"Ny On°Screen Display hasa message
that says ERROR."
This means the VCR has had difficulty with the tape
mechanism. To reset, turn the power off and then on
again. If this does not clear the error, unph_g the VCR
fiom the wall outlet and inspect both tape slots %r
%reign o_ects, orjammed or crooked tapes. If this
does not help, constflt a service center.

"Ny VCRdoesn't worR/'
A strong static electricity shock or other un%reseen
circumstances
can cause the control system of your
Dual-Deck VCR to lock _@. To reset the control system,
first unpfiJg the power cord from the wall outlet %r 20
seconds and phJg it in again. If this doesn't restore all
operations to normal, _mplug it again 10r 15 minutes.
You will then need to reset the clock (if the clock is still
set, you haven't unplugged it long enough). If these
steps do not correct the problem, the Dual-Deck VCR
must be serviced by an authorized service center.
