Simple Editing to a VCR

If you cannot find the appropriate remote control setting for the camcorder to control your VCR, you still can edit a tape to the VCR as follows.

Preparations

1. Connect the camera to the VCR.

• See “Connections for Playback on a TV Screen” on p. 30.

2. Prepare the TV and VCR.

• Turn on the TV and set it to the video channel, or set the TV/VIDEO selector to VIDEO.

• Turn on the VCR, and set its input selector to LINE. Load a blank cassette, and put the VCR in record pause mode.

• See your TV and VCR instruction manuals for details.

3. Turn the camera’s POWER switch to VCR, and load your recorded cassette.

Basic editing

1. Find a point on your recorded cassette slightly before the section you want to copy.

2. Start to play it back while you monitor the picture on the TV.

3. Start recording on the VCR as soon as the section you want to copy appears on the screen.

4. Pause the VCR at the end of the section you want to copy, then stop playback on the camera.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until your edited recording is complete.

Note:

• The quality of the edited tape will be slightly lower than that of the original.
