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

1Play 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.
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.

Adjustment Of VCR/Camcorder Timing

4Point 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 MENU. The Menu Screen
appears.
5Press + or – to select “tVIDEO”, and press
SET/SELECT. The VIDEO Menu appears.
6Press + or – to select
“SYNCHRO” and
press SET/SELECT. The
value for “SYNCHRO”
is highlighted.
7Based on the
diagnostics performed,
you can now advance
the VCR’s record timing by pressing +. You can
also delay the VCR’s record timing by pressing –.
The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3
seconds, in 0.1-second increments.
Press SET/SELECT to finish the setting.
8Press + or – to select “BRETURN”, and press SET/
SELECT twice.
Now perform Random Assemble Editing
beginning with step6 on page 75.
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.
