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.

The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.

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

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.

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.

ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING

4 Point the remote control at the camcorder’s remote sensor and press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make the Random Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press the MENU/BRIGHT wheel in. The Menu Screen appears.

5 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select “ VIDEO” and push it. The VIDEO Menu appears. Then, rotate it to “SYNCHRO” and push it. The value for “SYNCHRO” is highlighted.

6 Based on the diagnostics performed, you can now advance the VCR’s record timing by rotating the MENU/BRIGHT wheel towards “+”. You can also delay the VCR’s record timing by rotating the MENU/ BRIGHT wheel towards “–”. The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments. Push the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to finish the setting.

7 Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT wheel to select “1RETURN” and push it twice.

Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning with step 4 on page 63.
