Editing your 8mm tapes onto VHS tapes is a breeze with the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s Automatic Assembly Editing System. Just use the Automatic Editing keys on the remote control or front panel to mark the beginning and end of up to eight individual scenes on your 8mm tape. Think of marking the beginning and end of scenes as putting “parentheses” around the scene. Use the Tape Counter with Frame accuracy to fine-tune your begin and end marks. Then, press a button and let the Dual-Deck VCR do all the work of assembling the scenes and copying them to your VHS tape.

Before you begin your Automatic Editing session, we recommend that you set AUTO PLAY in the AUTO FEATURES MENU to OFF. This prevents the 8mm tape from automatically playing when you insert it, giving you more control over the tape.
