So you want to connect two VCRs to a television. Connecting two VCRs together and then hooking them up to a television will create a crude editing station right in your home. You will be able to copy entire tapes, record parts of several tapes onto one tape, or simultaneously make two copies of the same show you're recording.
Instructions
1. Take a moment to label your parts. With a small sticker, label one VCR #1 and the other one #2. Label each of your coaxial wires #1 and #2 as well.
2. Hook in your antenna, satellite or cable connection to the "In" port on the back of VCR #1. You will be looking for a round metal screw, and will be labeled something along the lines of "In", or "In from Antenna".
3. Find the "Out" port for a coaxial wire on the back of VCR #1. This will be labeled something like "video out" or "out to TV". Screw in coaxial wire #1 to it.
4. Find the "In" port for a coaxial wire on the back of VCR #2, . This will be a round metal screw, and will be labeled something like "video in" or "cable in". Screw in the second half of coaxial wire #1 to it.
5. Find the "Out" port for a coaxial wire on the back of VCR #2,, and screw coaxial wire #2 into it.
6. Search for the "In" port for a coaxial wire on the back of the TV , and screw the other half of coaxial wire #2 into it.
7. Plug in your TV and both VCRs to the power strip, and the power strip into the wall. Make sure the power strip is on.
8. Tune both VCR #2 and your TV to channel 3.
