G Locate the start point.

The edit-in point is registered in memory and appears on the screen.

H Locate the end point.

Find the edit-out point where you want the edited scene to end by pressing w e or using the SHUTTLE ring or the JOG dial, then press IN/OUT (or PROG).

The edit-out point is registered in memory and appears on the screen.

The total time of the edited

scenes is displayed to the right of “(+)”.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each

additional scene.

I Prepare the recording deck.

Engage its Record-Standby mode.

J Start Random Assemble Editing.

Press START (or OK).

Automatic editing begins; all the specified scenes are copied to the recording deck in the order they were registered.

The on-screen display remains while your recorder searches for each scene (blinking cursor indicates scene currently being searched for), but disappears during actual editing.

During scene search, the recording deck automatically enters its Record-Standby mode.

When all registered scenes have been edited, your recorder enters the Pause mode, the recording deck enters its Record-Standby mode, and the cursor blinks at the next available number.

K End Random Assemble Editing.

Press MENU to return to the normal screen, and engage the Stop mode for your recorder and for the recording deck.

To Make Corrections ...

... in step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out points by pressing &. Each time you press, the preceding point is erased.

If, for example, you have registered 5 sets of in and out points and want to reset the first set, you have to press & until all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them after you have repaired the first set of points.

NOTES:

You can also monitor the sound when searching for scenes you want to edit in steps 7 8. Since you can hear the soundtrack during selection, you can avoid abrupt or unnatural sounding scene-to-scene transitions. The sound that is heard, however, is not TimeScan Audio.

When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the source tape between the locations you chose as edit-in and -out points and the locations your recorder recognizes as those points.

For any scene, the edit-out point must have a counter reading that is at least 1 second after the corresponding edit-in point. Any less than 1 second and the edit-out point will not be registered.

Since the source recorder prerolls during Random Assemble Editing, there must be at least 15 seconds worth of recorded material prior to any edit-in point on the source tape.

If the search time for an edit-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording deck enters its Stop mode and editing will not take place.

During steps 7 and 8 — if you engage the Pause mode while registering edit-in and -out points in the R.A.Edit screen, the characters in the on-screen display may become distorted. This is normal.

Memory Capacity

Random Assemble Editing shares memory space with the recorder’s timer. If there are programmes occupied by timer-recording data, those spaces cannot be used to register edit-in and -out points

— meaning you will not be able to edit 8 scenes.

When all 8 programmes are full, “PROGRAM FULL” appears on the R.A.Edit screen.

To cancel a programme, see page 36.
