Note: After the simple programmable edit is finished, the programmed data is erased. If you want to continue editing other segments, repeat steps 5 ~ 12. Note: If you make a mistake in the middle of programming or want to correct the programmed data, start again from the beginning.

Note: Most VCRs (recording machine) may be released from the record pause mode if it continues for more than five minutes.

Note: The dubbing start and end positions may slightly drift from the specified positions when certain VCRs are used.

Note: If you perform programmable simple edit using the optical link function, the infrared rays from the edit remote control may strike the AV optical receiver and noise may occur in the picture and sound. We recommend that you use the AV output cable for simple editing.

To End Programmable Simple Edit

Press the PROGRAM button to remove the program display from the viewfinder. Then press the stop button on the recording VCR to set it to the stop mode.

Note: if the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch of the camcorder is set to OFF or CAM when the recording VCR is in the record pause mode, the VCR enters the record mode.

Controlling Your TV with the Camcorder's Remote Control

The remote control is designed to be compatible with many televisions, but will not work with every one made. If your TV does not respond the way it should when you program it as explained below, this remote may be incapable of operating it.

Once you have programmed the remote, you won't have to do it again until you change the batteries.

This remote control can be used with your TV as well as the camcorder, as long as your TV comes with a remote control. This feature comes in handy -- you don't have to juggle two remotes.

The remote control is compatible with the fourteen makers of TVs listed on the next page -- but don't be alarmed if yours is not on our list. You may still be able to program the remote for your TV.

Every TV that comes with a remote control is set up to detect certain infrared signals. You need to program the camcorder remote control to send signals that your TV will recognize and respond to. Here's what to do:

Programming the Remote Control

￿Turn the television on (any channel is okay).

￿Aim the camcorder's remote control at your TV set. Hold down the CH () button while you press the button corresponding to your brand of television as shown in the chart (page 57).

For example, if you have an RCA television, press CH () and DISPLAY at the same time. If this button combination sends a signal that matches with your TV, the channel will change on the TV, and you'll know the remote is set to control the television.

￿If that button combination does not change the TV channel, go through the whole list of button combinations one by one until you find one that does change your TV channel.

Also, if your brand of TV is not listed in the chart, try all the buttons. One of them may work for you.

If the TV channel still doesn't change after going through all the button
