The TALK indicator
lights. Speak into the
MIC

Using a VCR
To record the audio and video input from
each camera, you can connect a VCR
equipped with separate audio and video in-
put jacks to the monitor . You can then play
back the recording on the monitor or on a
standard TV equipped with AV input jacks.
To record the sound and picture from your
cameras, connect the monitor’s
V OUT
and
A OUT
jacks to the audio and video input
jacks of your VCR using video-quality shield-
ed cables (not supplied).
If you plan to play the recorded tape through
the monitor, connect the monitor’s
V IN
and
A IN
jacks to the VCR’s audio and video out-
put jacks using a video-quality shielded cable
(not supplied).
VCR Recording
Follow these steps to record the input from
one or more cameras.
1. Turn on the system and the VCR.
2. Load a blank video cassette, or one you
want to record over, into the VCR.
3. Most VCRs have either a separate
switch or built-in electronic programming
to let you switch between a TV source
as input and another source connected
to the audio/video jacks. Using the
method appropriate for your VCR, select
the source connected to the audio/video
input jacks.
Note:
If your VCR has no provision for
recording a separate external source,
special accessories are available at your
local RadioShack store.
4. Select the desired recording speed and
other settings on your VCR.
