●The edit-in point is registered in memory and appears on the screen.

●You can also perform an Index Search (if index marks have been previously recorded on the tape at the desired points – ☞ pg. 15) to find the points you want, but this will result in reduced accuracy.

	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 Stop mode, the recording deck enters
	its Record-Standby mode, a blue background
	replaces the video playback (behind the R.A. Edit
	screen), and the cursor blinks at the next available
	number.

EDITING(cont.)

11	END R.A. EDIT
	Press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the
	normal screen, and engage the Stop mode for the
	recording deck.

NOTES:

●You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes 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.

●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	R.A. EDIT	EDIT MODE
memory space with the VCR's
timer. If there are programs
occupied by timer-recording data,	PROGRAM FULL
those spaces cannot be used to
register edit-in and -out points —
meaning you won't be able to edit	TTL 0:00:00	CNT 0:00:00
8 scenes.

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

●To cancel a program, see page 24.
