EDITING (cont.) Insert Editing
You can record a new scene into a previously recorded tape, replacing a section of the original recording with minimal picture distortion at the in- and out-points. The original audio remains unchanged.
NOTE:
You need the optional RM-V20U remote control unit to perform the following procedure.

RM-V20U (optional)
●Insert Editing may not work correctly if a blank segment exists in the recorded tape, or if the recording speed was changed.
●The tape may stop slightly before or after the designated end point, and noise bars may appear. Neither indicates a defect in the unit.
●To edit onto a tape with the recording safety tab removed, cover the hole with adhesive tape.
●Only video signal is recorded in the Insert Editing mode. When the sound is to be recorded, press AUDIO DUB and PAUSE simultaneously after Step 5. When INSERT and PAUSE are pressed simultaneously again, the unit re-enters the Video-signal-only Recording mode.
●If the camcorder’s mike is too close to the TV, or if the TV’s volume is too high, whistling or howling may occur.
