Dubbing only desired scenes - Digital program editingPreparation 2: Adjusting the synchronization of the VCR

You can adjust the synchronization of your camcorder and the VCR.

Remove the cassette from the camcorder beforehand. We recommend that you prepare a pen and paper for notes.

When you connect to a Sony VCR using an i.LINK cable (DV connecting cable), the setup below is not necessary.

(1) Insert a recordable tape into the VCR.

(2) Set the POWER switch to VCR.

(3) Press MENU to display the menu.

(4) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select , then press the dial.

(5) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select EDIT SET, then press the dial.

(6) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select ADJ TEST, then press the dial.

(7) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select EXECUTE, then press the dial. CUT-IN and CUT-OUT are recorded on an image for five times each to calculate the numerical values for adjusting the synchronicity.

The EXECUTING indicator flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. When finished, the indicator changes to COMPLETE.

(8) Rewind the tape in the VCR, then start slow playback.

Take a note of the opening numerical value of each CUT-IN and the closing numerical value of each CUT-OUT.

(9) Calculate the average of all the opening numerical values of each CUT-IN, and the average of all the closing numerical values of each CUT-OUT.
