How to calculate the best adjustment for the "cut-in" and
E
"cut-out" points
Use the tape on which you recorded the digital timer in "Setting RECORDER" to
calculate the cut-in and cut-out adjustment values.
1. Rewind the tape in the VCR and play back the recorded digital
timer.
• Look at the time the CUT-OUT timer stops and CUT-IN timer starts. These
times are what the CUT-OUT ADJ. and CUT-IN ADJ. settings should be.
• For maximum accuracy, take an average of at least three readings.
• If your VCR has a frame advance function or a jog dial, you can use it to
find the precise starting times more conveniently.
2. Set the CUT-OUT ADJ. and CUT-IN ADJ. settings to the center of
the three readings.
• The camcorder will remember the cut-in and cut-out adjustment settings until
you change them.
