Synchro Edit

Synchro edit allows your camcorder to control a VCR (one that has a compatible PAUSE, EDIT, EDIT IN/OUT, or SYNC jack) while tapes are being copied from the camcorder to the VCR. This is convenient when you want to copy only selected segments from a previously recorded tape. An optional AVS80 synchro edit cable shown on page 57 is required.

Note: Not all RCA VCRs have compatible synchro edit jacks.
