Continuing a Sync Edit

During a Sync Edit, you can reposition the source tape and
make additional edits. To do so, follow these steps:
1
While the Sync Edit is in progress, press
enter Copy Tape Pause mode. Deck 1 will go into Play/
Still and Deck 2 will go into Record/Pause. "Copy" will
blink on the front panel display.
Note: It is recommended that you copy 3-4 seconds
beyond your next edit point to account for pre-roll
(a slight rewinding of the tape prior to recording
that ensures continuous tape coverage).

Making Quality Edits

It is not uncommon for "glitches" to occur during a manual
assembly edit, usually at the end of a scene that is being
recorded over old material.
This happens because the VCR's full erase head (which
erases the video, audio and control tracks) is always a few
seconds behind the recording heads. You may see a vibrating
rainbow of color in the middle of the picture and sound can
become unstable for a few seconds.
To improve the quality of your edits:
• Record with preformatted tape - You can format a
tape by recording the Aux input with no signal over the
entire tape. First, unplug any device connected to your
Front A/V Inputs. Next, tune the channel to "00". Finally,
record the blank signal over the entire tape.
• Overlap your edits - Always copy the source tape 3-4
seconds beyond the end of each scene. This helps account
for pre-roll when you edit the next scene.
