Press R.A. EDIT START on the VCR or C.MEMORY on
the remote control.
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 VCR

scene currently being searched for), but disappears
during actual editing.
During scene search, the recording deck automati-
cally enters its Record-Standby mode. "SEARCHING"
appears on the screen.
When all registered scenes have been edited, your
VCR enters the Still mode, the recording deck enters
its Record-Standby mode, and the cursor blinks at the
next available number.

Press MENU as many times as necessary to return to the
normal screen, and engage the Stop mode for the both
VCRs.
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/-
out points and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.
There are no limitations for R.A. Edit list (such as repeat
segments, negative counter values, segments out of order).
Only the start-stop sequence has to be in the normal play
direction.
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 VCR 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.
To Make Corrections . . .
. . . during step 7 or 8, you can cancel registered in and out
points by pressing CANCEL on the remote control. 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 CANCEL until
all points after the first set have been erased. Reenter them
after you've repaired the first set of points.
Memory Capacity
Random Assemble Editing shares
memory space with the VCR's
timer. If there are programs
occupied by timer-recording data,
those spaces cannot be used to
register edit-in and -out points —
meaning you won't be able to edit
8 scenes.
When all 8 programs are full, "PROGRAM FULL" appears on
the R.A. EDIT screen.
To cancel a program, see page 50.
RM-V403U Multi-Brand R.A. Edit Controller

By connecting this controller to your VCR's R.A. EDIT connec-
tor, you can perform Random Assemble Editing in combination
with a second non-JVC VCR. The controller is compatible with
various major VCR brands. For compatible systems and
availability, please consult your JVC dealer.
