Using Audio/Video Dubbing

Use audio/video dubbing to record audio and video from the camcorder's built-in microphone and camera onto a previously recorded tape in the camcorder.

Audio/Video Dubbing Illustration

1.Connect your camcorder to the television, following "Connecting to a Television with Audio In and Video In Jacks" on page 27.

2.Turn on your television and place it in the camcorder input mode (consult your television manual for details).

3.Hold down the red button on the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch while sliding the switch to

VIDEO.

4.Insert a previously recorded tape in the camcorder.

5.Use the wireless remote control and press the PLAY button. Use the PLAY, F.FWD, and REW buttons to find the place where you want to stop dubbing. Press the PAUSE (START/STOP) button.

6.Display the linear timer counter with memory ("Using Memory," p.40). Press the COUNTER RESET button to set the linear time counter to 0:00:00M.

7.Use the REW and PLAY buttons to find where you wish to start dubbing. Press the PAUSE (START/STOP) button.

8.Press and hold the A/V DUB button while pressing the PLAY button. This places the camcorder in A/V DUB pause mode.

9.Press the PAUSE (START/STOP) button. The audio/video dubbing starts. When the linear time counter reaches 0:00:00M the camcorder stops automatically, recording only the portion of the tape that you selected.

Note: If the camcorder is in AV DUB pause or STILL mode for more than 5 minutes, the camcorder stops automatically to protect the tape.

Note: Automatic date recording is disabled during audio/video dubbing.

Note: When the audio/video dubbed portion is played back, noise may appear at the end of the dubbed portion.

Simple Programmable Edit (The edit remote control is optional)

Simple programmable edit allows you to program your camcorder to select the scenes you want to copy from a pre-recorded tape. Use the edit remote control (optional) to easily copy scenes from a recorded tape in the camcorder (playback machine) onto a blank tape in a table-top VCR which handles infrared signals (recording machine).

Note: Only the VM-RM20EDA edit remote control (optional) can be used with this camcorder.

Note: Some VCRs cannot be operated by the edit remote control (optional).

Example of Programmable Editing

Programming the Remote Control for the VCR

It is necessary to program the edit remote control to match the VCR before starting editing.
