jVHS, kS-VHS, ðVHSC, KS-VHSC, lBetamax or ÂED Betamax VCR that has video/audio inputs.

Before editing

Connect the camcorder to the VCR using the supplied A/V connecting cable. Set the input selector on the VCR to LINE, if available.

Set EDIT to ON in the menu system (p. 26).

Starting editing

(2) Play back the recorded tape on the camcorder until you locate the point just before where you want to start editing, then press P to set the camcorder in playback pause mode.

(3) On the VCR, locate the recording start point and set the VCR in recording pause mode.

(4) First press P on the camcorder, and after few seconds press P of the VCR to start editing.
