● The total time of the

● Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each additional scene.

you want to edit in steps 7 – 8. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions.

● When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in/- out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.

● There are no limitations for R.A. Edit list (such as repeat segments, negative counter values, segments out of order). Only the start-stop sequence has to be in the normal play direction.

● For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.

● Since the source VCR prerolls during Random Assemble Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.

● If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.

To Make Corrections . . .

. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.

● If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points and want to reset the first set, you have to press CANCEL until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you've repaired the first set of points.

Memory Capacity

Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the VCR's timer. If there are programs occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points — meaning you won't be able to edit 8 scenes.

Press R.A. EDIT START on the VCR or START on the remote control.

●Automatic editing begins; all the specified scenes are copied to the recording deck in the order they were registered.

●The on-screen display remains while your VCR searches for each scene (blinking cursor indicates scene currently being searched for), but disappears during actual editing.

●During scene search, the recording deck automati- cally enters its Record-Standby mode. "SEARCHING" appears on the screen.

●When all registered scenes have been edited, your VCR enters the Still mode, the recording deck enters its Record-Standby mode, and the cursor blinks at the next available number.

●When all 8 programs are full, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on the R.A. EDIT screen.

●To cancel a program, see page 44.
