1. Connect the synchro edit cord to the AV IN/OUT jack of your camera/recorder.
2. Connect the synchro edit cord to the AUDIO IN, VIDEO IN, and EDIT IN jacks of your
VCR. Connect either the right or left audio plug into your VCR if it has only one AUDIO
IN jack.
3. Insert the recorded tape in the camera/recorder and a blank tape into the VCR.
4. Play the tape in the camera/recorder until you find the place you want to record.
Press the Start/Stop button.
5. Press the RECORD button on the VCR. It automatically sets to pause. If the VCR
begins to record instead of pausing you need to change the position of the switch on the
synchro edit cord. Stop the VCR, change the position of the switch, and press the
RECORD button on the VCR.
6. Press the S.EDIT button on the remote control and the last few seconds of the
recorded tape reviews in the viewfinder and then the camera/recorder is placed in
playback. The recording VCR starts recording automatically.
7. Press the F.FWD, REW/REVIEW, STOP and Start/Stop buttons to pause the VCR.
You can then search forward or back through the tape, fast forward, or rewind the tape
without affecting the tape in the VCR.
Use the F.FWD and REW/REVIEW buttons to search the tape. Press the PLAY button
to resume normal playback. To resume recording on the tape in the VCR, press the
Start/Stop button and then the S.EDIT button.
To fast forward or rewind the tape, press the STOP button, then F.FWD or
REW/REVIEW. To return to recording on the tape in the VCR, press the STOP button,
then the PLAY button, then the Start/Stop button, and then the S.EDIT button.
8. To stop recording at a certain point turn on the camera/recorder's linear time counter
with memory ("Using Memory," p 19). Press the COUNTER RESET button on the
remote control where you wish the recording to stop. The linear time counter resets to
0:00:00M. Rewind to the point where you wish to start recording and start copying.
When the linear time counter reaches 0:00:00 the recording stops automatically,
pausing the VCR in the record mode.
Note: If the tape counter reads "0:00:00M" you cannot start recording.
Controlling Your TV with the Camera/Recorder's Remote Control
The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions, but will not work
with every one made. If your TV does not respond the way it should when you program
it as explained below, this remote may be incapable of operating it.
Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change
the batteries.
This remote control can be used with your TV as well as the camera/recorder, as long
as your TV comes with a remote control. This feature comes in handy -- you don't have
to juggle two remotes.
The remote control is compatible with the fourteen makers of TVs listed below -- but
don't be alarmed if yours is not on our list. You may still be able to program the remote
