Nothing is easier! Just take the Composit Video out (RCA jack) from
the back of the Amiga, and plug it into the 'VIDEO IN' on the VCR.
Then, take the Audio Out from the Amiga (either use a two-into-one
jack to combine the Amiga's two sound channels, or use a stero VCR)
and send it into 'AUDIO IN' on the VCR. Next, make sure that your
VCR is switched to receive either 'AUX' or 'EXT' inputs, and you're
all set.
You can still use the Amiga monitor to view the screen, but the
composite video signal will be simultaneously sent into the VCR.
If you have the program called "SETLACE", you should run it first.
This small (2k) program puts the Amiga into interlaced mode, which
I find greatly improves the appearance of text, etc. and eliminates
any visible dark lines between the scan lines on the monitor.

RE REPLY .1 -
Is the SETLACE program available ?.....how can I get a copy
by sending a disk to someone in DEC?
By the way.....a program is mentioned in the latest AmigaWorld
that will let the Amiga control an 8-mm VCR :
MediaPhile (Product Name)

Send me a blank disk thru inter-office mail. The program is in
Public Domain, so dont worry about shareware fees, etc.
By the way, SETLACE works great on a Sony monitor, but I haven't
seen it on the 1080. It still should improve video quality.
Also, WB1.2 HAS a setlace option, selectable from preferences.
Send a blank to :
Ed Acciardi
SHR1-4/B10
Dont forget to put your return address somewhere!!
