Video Tape Editing
With your Dual-Deck VCR you can edit tapes quickly
and easily. Y our editing may be as simple as removing
unwanted scenes from your camcorder recordings. Or
it may be as complicated as shooting a number of
scenes, reviewing the tape, deciding on a final format,
and putting it back together.

Sync Edit

You can do assembly editing manually with your
Dual-Deck VCR. For example, when you have different
scenes from a source tape that you would like to add
to a target tape, insert the source tape into Deck One,
the target tape into Deck Two and:
1. Position the source tape in Deck One to the begin-
ning of the first scene you want to copy onto the
target tape in Deck Two and press Pause.
2. Press the Copy button to start Copy Tape.
NOTE:
The faster the speed, the better quality
copy you will get. The highest quality
editing will result when you use SP to
record regardless of the source speed.
Copies made from EP source tapes are
subject to picture degradation
because of the slow speed.
NOTE:
The Copy Audio Insert feature allows
you to add taped music or your own
pre-recorded voice-over while editing
a video tape, replacing the tape’s
original audio track. See page 32.
