Question

Using 2 vcr's, how do you duplicate or copy a vhs tape to a vhs tape?

Answer 1

Connect one VCR to your TV as normal.  This will be the deck holding your blank tape.

Connect your second VCR's output to the first VCR's input using a standard A/V cable.  This is the deck that will hold your tape to be copied.

So, you should have this:

VCR2 --> VCR1 --> TV

Set the TV to use the input of the VCR.

Set the first VCR to the input where the 2nd VCR is connected.

Hit play on the 2nd VCR.

You should now see your tape playing on the TV.

Now you can cue up your tape in the 2nd VCR, and hit record on the first VCR.

That's all there is to it.
