[comp.sys.atari.8bit] XL/XE Used as VCR Titlers

wrd@tekigm2.UUCP (Bill Dippert) (12/20/86)

Some time ago, there was an article in either ANTIC or A.N.A.L.O.G. magazines
that told how to use an Atari 800/XL/XE as a source of titles for VCR tapes.  I
have tried to connect my computer and VCR together to do this and cannot seem
to find the proper connection scheme.  Does anyone either remember which issue
of which magazine that this appeared in or does anyone know how to do this?

I have tried connecting computer to switchbox on games with VCR without
success, similarly have tried inputing computer to VCR signal in RCA jack, but
again no success.  I have VCR set up to use ch 4 and computer to use ch 3,
figuring that I could then set VCR to channel 3 and receive the signal from the
computer, but again no success.  I only seem to be able to use the VCR or the
computer, but not both together.  (Both work fine by themselves with no changes
in wiring and with the other device shutoff.)

Thanks in advance
