Automatic Editing To VCR
13 Rewind the tape in the camcorder to the
beginning of the scene you want to edit and press
PAUSE (9).
14 Press VCR REC STBY (79), or manually
engage the VCR’s Record-Pause mode.
15 Press START/STOP on the remote control.
Editing proceeds as programmed, right through
to the end of the last registered scene.
● When dubbing is complete, the camcorder
enters the Pause mode, and the VCR enters its
Record-Pause mode.
● If you do not register an Edit-Out point, the
tape will be dubbed all the way to the end
automatically.
● If you operate the camcorder during automatic
editing, the VCR will enter its Record-Pause
mode and automatic editing will stop.
16 Engage the Stop modes for the camcorder and
the VCR.
To make the R.A.Edit counter display disappear,
press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF on the remote control.
NOTES:
● Pressing R.A.EDIT ON/OFF on the remote control
clears all settings registered during Random
Assemble Editing.
● When the editing cable is connected to the remote
control’s PAUSE IN connector during dubbing,
make sure the remote control is pointed at the
VCR’s sensor, and the path between the two is
unobstructed.
● Random Assemble Editing may not function
properly when using a tape including several
duplicated time codes. (੬ pg. 19)
For More Accurate Editing
Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause
to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin
editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the
same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find
that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For
a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing
of the camcorder against your VCR.
Diagnosing VCR/Camcorder Timing
1 Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point
the remote control at the camcorder’s remote
sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.
Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.
2 Perform Random Assemble Editing on Program 1
only. In order to check VCR and camcorder
timing, select the beginning of a scene transition
as your Edit-In point.
3 Play back the dubbed scene.
● If any images from the scene prior to the
transition you chose for your Edit-In point were
recorded, that means your VCR moves too
quickly from Record-Pause to Record mode.
● If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress,
the VCR is slow to start recording.
Adjustment Of VCR/Camcorder Timing
4 Press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make the Random
Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press
MENU. The Menu Screen appears.
5 Press + or – to select “t”, and press SET/
SELECT. The VIDEO Menu appears.
6 Press + or – to select “SYNCHRO”, and press
SET/SELECT. The value for “SYNCHRO” is
highlighted.
7 Based on the diagnostics performed, you can
now advance the VCR’s record timing by pressing
+. You can also delay the VCR’s record timing by
pressing –.
The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3
seconds, in 0.1-second increments.
Press SET/SELECT to finish the setting.
8 Press + or – to select “BRETURN”, and press SET/
SELECT twice.
Now perform Random Assemble Editing
beginning with step 6 on page 60.
NOTES:
● Before performing actual Random Assemble
Editing, do a few Random Assemble Editing trial
runs to check whether the value you have input is
appropriate or not, and make adjustments
accordingly.
● Depending on the recorder, there may be
situations where the timing difference cannot be
fully corrected.
