Normally, you hook the other end to a TV, but you could substitute the VCR, instead. The picture that you end up with won't be as good as you'd get with even a low-end genlock, but on the other hand you should be able to get Commodore's RF modulator for $30 US, compared to about $100 US for the cheapest genlock. -- Dave Witzany (witzany@sparc1.isgs.uiuc.edu)
