2.Prepare the TV and VCR.

•See your TV and VCR instruction manuals for details.

3.Turn the camera’s POWER dial to VCR, and load your recorded cassette.

Editing

1.Find a point on your recorded cassette slightly before the section you want to copy.

2.Start to play it back while you monitor the picture on the TV.

3.Start recording on the VCR as soon as the section you want to copy appears on the screen.

4.Pause the VCR at the end of the section you want to copy, then stop playback on the camera.

5.Repeat steps 1 to 4 until your edited recording is complete.

• The quality of the edited tape will be slightly lower than that of the original.
