Editing

To a camcorder without DV jack
The LINE-2 IN jacks on the front of the VCR is convenient if you
connect or disconnect a camcorder frequently.
Preparation
On the player
• Insert a source tape.
• If the player VCR has an EDIT switch, set it to ON.
• Turn off the on-screen display.
On the recorder (this VCR)
• Insert a tape.
• Press INPUT SELECT so that the jack to which the player is
connected appears in the display window:
"L1," "L2," or "DV"
• When you connect to the LINE 1/2 IN jacks, adjust the recording
level and balance with the REC LEVEL and REC BALANCE controls.
Play back the source, then adjust the controls so that the red
indicators of the level meter do not light up. Select the balance
according to your need (normally, set it to the center).

Tips
•Editing is not possible with
a tape that is copyright
protected.
•When you finish editing, set
EDIT switch to “OFF.”
Notes
•The REC LEVEL and REC
BALANCE controls do not
function on a source input
through the DV jack.
•With the DV connection, the
playback VCR’s AUDIO
MONITOR and AUDIO
MIX BALANCE do not
function on the source audio
output through the DV jack.
Tip
•To connect a monaural
VCR, use LINE-2 IN jack
and connect to the L jack
(white) (leave the red audio
plug unconnected). The
monaural audio from the L
jack will be recorded on
both left and right tracks.
Notes
• If you connect the cables to
both the LINE-2 IN VIDEO
and LINE-2 IN S-VIDEO
jacks , the signal from the
S-VIDEO jack is sent to the
VCR and “S” lights in the
display window. If you
want to use the video signal
from the VIDEO jack, set L2
IN VIDEO in the
ADVANCED OPTIONS
menu to “NORM” (page
54).
• Distorted signals (e.g. when
played back at a speed other
than normal) will not be
recorded properly.
