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.

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 box, you select TV

channels using the cable converter 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 con-

verter box, if you have one, works the same way.

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.

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 IN

.jack on the back of the VCR.

2. Which cable attaches to the TV OUT jack on the

back of the VCR.

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.

NOTE:

See item number 6, Second TVView,

in the Setup Menu to program the

Some Dual-Deck VCR owners may have a monitor-

style TV. Monitor-style TVs offer improved picture and

sound quality over standard TVs because they receive

the video and audio signal directly fiom the VCR. A

standard TV receives the video and audio signal fiom

the VCR indirectly, through what is called an RF

modulator. This is a miniature broadcasting station in

your VCR that sends the signal to your TV. The TV

OUT connection on the back of your Dual-Deck VCR

transmits the signal from the RF modulator. The

direct VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connections give you

better quality than the RF modulator connection, in

the same way that a face-to-face conversation is

clearer than a conversation through a walkie-talkie.

If practical, use the VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connec-

tions on the back of your VCR instead of the TV OUT

connection.

To view the VCR output on the monitor, you have

to switch the monitor to 'VIDEO,"AUX,' or LINE.'

Refer to your monitor owner's manual R)r the

correct setting.

When you use these VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connec-

tions instead of the TV OUT connection, the TV/VCR

key has no effect on the picture you see when using

your VCR. F_ut it still switches the antenna and any

device attached to TV OUT.'

If you use the AUDIO OUT connections, your stereo

Cleaner will catch normal residue, but with heavy

VCR use, or the playing of old, well-used or damaged

video tapes, the accumulation of dirt over time will

cause blurs or streaks in the video and video copy

image. It left unchecked this dirt build-up can also

eventually degrade or even ruin the video tape heads

To avoid unnecessary repair service charges and

maintain your Du al-Deck VCR's qu ality video image

and copy performance, we recommend that you:

*Use only high-qualityvideo tapes.

. Periodically clean the Dual-Deck's video heads at

home with a quality wet', non-a brasive head-

cleaning tape. (Tape head cleaners look like blank

tapes. Wet head-cleaning tapes require that you

add a liquid cleaning agent before you insert them

into your VCR. Dry head-cleaning tapes are

abrasive and may cause wear on heads.)

. With heavy rental tape use, you should consider

scheduling an annual proDssional video head-

cleaning (and replacement of the Du al-Deck's

Automatic Head Cleaner) at your local authorized

Go-Video service center.

Care ef Videetapes

Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme heat or

extreme cold. Do not disassemble any cassette. Do not

touch the tape. Rewind tapes after use and store in

protective cases. Remove the record safety tab to

prevent recording over previous recordings.

Humidity Requirements

If your Dual-Deck VCR is suddenly moved flom a cold

Be[i_re operating, allow at least 2 hours after plugging

in the power cord for your Dual-Deck VCR to dry

(Is the VCR icon on the front panel display on?) You

('an select TV/VCR flom the remote control or use the

button on the flont panel of the VCR. Also make sure

your TV is set to the same channel (3 or 4) as the

switch on the back of yore VCR.

If using Audio/Video out jack on the VCR, make sme

the TV is set to Line/AUX/AV in.

"The picture is bad/'

If the picture is bad while watching the VCR and your

TV is set to channel 3 or 4 (see above), try a(Ousting

the fine tuning on your TV. Or try changing the

output channel of the VCR (if set to 3 change to 4,

and if set to 4 change to 3). Then make sure your TV

is set to the same channel.

(as opposed to watching the VCR with the TV set on

channel 3 or 4), make sure the VCR is in TV mode.

ing the tracking control. Use the ATR (Automatic

Tracking) button or the TRACKING _! keys

the other deck.

See the Poor Video Quality' troubleshooting flow chart

on page 62.

APPENDIX C- HELP-COMMONLYASKED QUESTIONS 63

"l can't record from my TW'

"l can't timer record/'

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.

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 isn't worRing."

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 the batteries in yore remote control are

fresh and installed properi>

"When 1use Cepy Tape, my tapes are reeerded at

aspeed ether than what was set."

In the COPY TAPE menu, check to see if Speed

Matching is on. When this feature is on, the recording

speed of a copy will be set to the speed of the somce

tape. If you want to change the speed at which the

tape is being copied, turn this _eature off.

"When 1use ¢epy Tape er put a tape

inte reeerd, the tape ejects."

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.

64 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,

both decks will automatically rewind befi_re recording

when you start a copy tape procedure. This process can

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.

"Why aren't the Counters moving?"

If the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape, the

counter cannot operate. The VCR relies on the control

track that is always recorded on to the video tape to

provide counter in%rmation.

APPENDIX C- HELP-COMMONLYASKED QUESTIONS 65

"Why can't I get a Menu or an On°Screen DispUay?"

If" the VCR is playing an unrecorded or blank tape,

the VCR cannot produce on-screen data to be dis-

played. Stopping the tape, or recording on it, will

allow the on-screen display to resmne.

See the No Menu is Visible' troubleshooting flow chart

on page 61.

"Why do I get ablue screen?"

If the VCR's tuner cannot receive a normal synchro-

nized signal, it will put a blue screen in its place.

Double check your antenna connections.

"The Power indicator is blinking."

Your Dual-Deck VCR is in Auto Power Off mode. If you

press the power button while rewinding a tape, timer

recording, One-Touch recording, copying a tape, or

using EZ-Copy, your VCR will automatically turn off

when that flmction is completed. Repeatedly pressing

the power button will turn Auto Power mode on and off.

"Copy on the Front Panel DispUayis blinking."

Any pause (interruption) in the Copy Tape process

will cause this button to blink. See Sync Edit,

page 27.
