Go-Video VHS-VHS, 4-Head Hi-Fi manual Tape Counter, Skip Edit

NOTE:

During Copy Tape, pressing the Copy button pauses the copying process. To resume copying, press the Copy Tape button again. To stop Copy Tape, press Deck Two Stop.

NOTE:

When assembling several scenes on one target tape, you can make more accurate edits by first playing the target tape to 2 seconds after the end of a scene, press Pause, then Record to put Deck Two into Record Pause. When you then re-start Copy Tape the target tape will be in position for the best edit.

3.Press Deck Select to select Deck One. At the end of the scene press Stop, (Deck Two will automatically pause). If desired, you can now change the source tape in Deck One at this time. Using Play, Fast Forward or Rewind, locate the next scene you want to edit in. When the tape is positioned at the beginning of the edit scene, press Pause.

4.Press the Copy Tape button and the VCR will automatically perform the synchronized edit.

5.To add the next scene, start over with Step 3.

You might find manual editing easier if you program both AUTO PLAY in the Set-up menu and EZ-COPY in the Features menu to OFF, and perform your edit with the On-Screen Display turned on.

Skip Edit

During Copy Tape, you can quickly by-pass commer- cials by pressing the Skip button one to five times. The Dual-Deck will automatically edit out the next one to five minutes then resume copying the tape.

NOTE:

For making quality edits, turn on HQ Copy (Features menu) to get better quality tape copy and edits. ‘Glitches’ may occur during a manual assembly edit, usually at the end of a scene that is being recorded over old material. This happens because the VCR’s full erase head (which erases the video, audio, and control tracks) is always a few seconds behind the recording heads. You may see a vibrating rainbow of color in the middle of the picture and sound can become unstable for a few seconds.

Tape Counter

Your Dual-Deck VCR Tape Counter allows you to note the location of specific sections of your tapes and find them quickly later. This tape counter counts in real time - hours, minutes, and seconds.

You can see the tape counter for both decks on the On-Screen Display. You can also see the tape counter for the active deck on the Front Panel Display (press- ing the CLK/CTR key repeatedly switches the display between the clock and the counter).

To reset the tape counter to zero on the active deck press CLEAR . You can do this anywhere on a tape.

Any time you insert a tape into your Dual-Deck VCR, the tape counter will automatically reset to zero. It is recommended that the counter be reset to zero after a full rewind.
