Tip:

See the Videotape Editing section of the Reference Guide for more information on editing.

Tip:

To prevent tape wear, the VHS deck will remain paused for only 10 minutes, then it will stop. If this happens during a SYNC EDIT, you will have to press COPYTAPE to continue editing.

Sometimes you will need or prefer to do some editing manually, rather than by using the Automatic Assembly Editing System. For example, you might want to edit out certain portions of a tape while you watch it. Or, you might want to mix together scenes from different 8mm tapes onto a VHS tape.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s SYNC EDIT key synchro- nizes the 8mm and VHS decks during manual editing, giving you smooth transitions and more precise timing.

We recommend that you edit using the On Screen Display with deck status and the Tape Counter. Use the Tape Counter with Frame accuracy to fine-tune your edits. We also recommend that you set AUTO PLAY/REW in the AUTO FEATURES MENU to OFF. This prevents the 8mm tapes from automatically playing when you insert them, giving you more control.

To manually edit your 8mm tapes:

1.Insert the 8mm tape that you want to edit, and a blank VHS tape.

2.Press COPYTAPE .

3.When the unwanted scene begins, press SYNCEDIT .

➤Both decks will pause.

4.Find the place on the 8mm tape where you want to start the copy again. Use any of the appropriate deck control keys to play, rewind, fast-forward, or pause the tape. If you wish, insert a different 8mm tape and position it. Leave the 8mm deck in Play Still mode (paused).

5.Press SYNCEDIT again.

➤The 8mm deck will rewind slightly and begin to play. The 8mm and VHS decks will synchronize so that the VHS deck will begin recording when the 8mm deck reaches the point where you pressed the Sync Edit key in step 5.

6.Repeat steps 3-5 until you’re done editing.

7.Press COPYTAPE to stop copying.
