Synchro edit allows your camcorder to control a compatible VCR (one that has a camera pause jack) while

tapes are being copied from the camcorder to the VCR.

The PAUSE button on the camcorder causes the VCR to start

and stop recording. This is especially convenient when you want to record only selected segments from a previously recorded tape.
