NOTES:

2Perform Random Assemble Editing on Program 1 only. In order to check VCR and camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene transition as your Edit-In point.

3Play back the dubbed scene.

●If any images from the scene prior to the transition you chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that means your VCR moves too quickly from Record-Pause to Record mode.

●If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the VCR is slow to start recording.

●Before performing actual Random Assemble Editing, do a few Random Assemble Editing trial runs to check whether the value you have input is appropriate or not, and make adjustments accordingly.

●Depending on the recorder, there may be situations where the timing difference cannot be fully corrected.
