First confirm that both recording and source units are connected to a AC mains socket.

Press the MENU button U and then use the Cursor buttons (LMFE) R to select “Functions” followed by “Edit”, and then set it to “ON”. (See page 54.)

If the source unit also has an “Edit” setting (either a switch or a menu setting), be sure to set it to “OFF” on the source unit.

Connect the EDIT socket i on this VCR to a video movie camera or a VCR using the Edit cable (VW-K5E), as shown in the illustration.

If you want to edit from a Video-8/Hi8 video movie camera or VCR equipped with a LANC socket, connect the LANC type edit cable to the SYNC.EDIT socket j on this VCR.

Also refer to the operating instructions of the source unit.

Display the VCR picture on the TV.

Insert the cassette onto which you want to perform One- Touch editing and make sure that its erasure prevention tab is intact.

As soon as the cassette is inserted, the Cassette Number Check starts. Wait a few moments until this check is completed. (See page 15.)

Insert the cassette, from which you want to perform editing, into the source unit.

Set the VCR/TV switch P to “VCR”.

Press the INPUT SELECT button 3 to select the AV input (external input) “A1”, “A2” or “A3” according to the socket(s) to which you have connected the source unit.
