Advanced Techniques

1.Connect your camcorder to the VCR, following "Playing Back Your Recording" on page 30.

2.Turn on your VCR and place it in the camcorder input mode (consult your VCR manual for details). Operate the television as you normally do to see the signal coming from the VCR.

3.Hold down the red button of the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch while you slide the switch to

VIDEO.

4.Insert the recorded tape in the camcorder and a blank tape into the VCR. Set the VCR to record.

5.Play the tape from the camcorder while recording on the VCR.

Note: If the VCR is connected to a television and the VCR/TV selector is set to VCR, you can monitor the tape being dubbed.

Note: Reduce the volume of the camcorder as low as possible during dubbing. Otherwise the played back pictures could be distorted.

Simple Programmable Edit (Edit remote control is optional accessory)

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).
