Using the MC 3000 to Access Sony Auto−Edit Mode
To mark the edit beginning point, press the SET MARK key. Use any method to reach the edit ending point on the tape. To
mark the end point and initiate the edit, press and hold REC IN, then press PLAY, then release both buttons. The VTR will
rewind to the edit begin point minus the set preroll time, go into Play mode, and at the edit beginning point (where you pressed
SET MARK) go into Record mode. It will stay in Record until the edit ending point (where you pressed REC IN + PLAY),
at which point the VTR will continue on for a few frames, then go into Variable Play, rewind to the edit ending point, then
stay in Variable Play with a velocity of 0.00.
