JVC GR-DX35 Automatic Editing to VCR, For More Accurate Editing, Diagnosing VCR/CAMCORDER Timing

AUTOMATIC EDITING TO VCR

11 Rewind the tape in the camcorder to the beginning of the scene you want to edit and press PAUSE (6) ;.

12 Point the remote control towards the VCR’s remote sensor and press VCR REC STBY (q6) S, or manually engage the VCR’s Record-Pause mode.

13 Press START/STOP s on the remote control. Editing proceeds as programmed, right through to the end of the last registered scene.

•When dubbing is complete, the camcorder enters the Pause mode, and the VCR enters its Record-Pause mode.

•If you do not register an Edit-Out point, the tape will be dubbed all the way to the end automatically.

•If you operate the camcorder during automatic editing, the VCR will enter its Record-Pause mode and automatic editing will stop.

14 Engage the Stop modes for the camcorder and the VCR.

To make the R.A.Edit counter display disappear, press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A on the remote control.

NOTES:

●Pressing R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A on the remote control clears all settings registered during Random Assemble Editing.

●When the editing cable is connected to the remote control’s Pause In connector during dubbing, make sure the remote control is pointed at the VCR’s sensor, and the path between the two is unobstructed.

●Random Assemble Editing may not function properly

when using a tape including several duplicated time codes (

For More Accurate Editing

Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of the camcorder against your VCR.

DIAGNOSING VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

1 Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the remote control at the camcorder’s remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A.

The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.

2 Perform Random Assemble Editing on Programme 1 only. In order to check VCR and camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene transition as your Edit- In point.

3 Play back the dubbed scene.

•If any images from the scene prior to the transition you chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that means your VCR moves too quickly from Record- Pause to Record mode.

•If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the VCR is slow to start recording.

ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

4 Point the remote control at the camcorder’s remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF A to make the Random Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press MENU 2. The Menu Screen appears.

5 Press + or – 3 to select “ (VIDEO)” and press SELECT/SET 1. Then, press + or – 3 to select “SYNCHRO” and press SELECT/SET 1. The value for “SYNCHRO” is highlighted.

6 Based on the diagnostics performed, you can now advance the VCR’s record timing by pressing + 3. You can also delay the VCR’s record timing by pressing –

3. The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments. Press SELECT/SET 1 to finish the setting.

7 Press + or – 3 to to select “ RETURN” and press SELECT/SET 1 twice.

Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning with step 4 on page 31.

NOTES:

●Before performing actual Random Assemble Editing, do a few Random Assemble Editing trial runs to check whether the value you have input is appropriate or not, and make adjustments accordingly.

●Depending on the recorder, there may be situations where the timing difference cannot be fully corrected.
