NOTES:

●Pressing R.A.EDIT ON/OFF on the remote control clears all settings registered during Random Assemble Editing.

●When the editing cable is connected to the remote control’s PAUSE IN connector during dubbing, make sure the remote control is pointed at the VCR’s sensor, and the path between the two is unobstructed.

●Random Assemble Editing may not function properly when using a tape including several duplicated time codes.

( pg. 17)

NOTES:

●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.

For More Accurate Editing

Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause to Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find that you have recorded scenes you did not want. For a cleanly edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of the camcorder against your VCR.

Diagnosing VCR/Camcorder Timing

1 Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the remote control at the camcorder’s remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.

●Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.

2 Perform 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.

3 Play 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.
