camcorder to vcr Can't Post

How can I hook up my camcorder to a vcr? I would love to put my vhs-c tapes onto vhs tapes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your camcorder should have some output jacks, possibly behind a door or cover. In some cases, your camera came with a special cable to adapt from the camera's outputs to the RCA audio and video connectors of a VCR. Connect the camera jacks to the Input jacks of the VCR. Connect a television monitor to the VCR's Output jacks.
Set the VCR to "Line" input. This may be a menu setting, or a button on the deck or on the remote control.
Set the camcorder to VCR mode (it probably has two modes, "Camera" and "VCR". Check your owners manual.) Hit the Play button on the camera's VCR controls (this will probably be a different button than the trigger you use to roll tape when you are videotaping something in camera mode). Hit the REC button on the VCR.
That's it!
