For More Accurate Editing
Some VCRs make the transition from Record-Pause to
Record mode faster than others. Even if you begin
editing for the camcorder and the VCR at exactly the
same time, you may lose scenes you wanted, or find that
you have recorded scenes you did not want. For a cleanly
edited tape, confirm and adjust the timing of the
camcorder against your VCR.
Diagnosing VCR/Camcorder Timing
1
Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the
remote control at the camcorder's remote sensor and
press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.
● Random Assemble Editing Menu
appears.
2
Perform Random Assemble
Editing on Program 1 only. In order
to check VCR and camcorder
timing, select the beginning of a
scene transition as your Edit-In
point.
3
Play back the dubbed scene.
● If any images from the scene prior to the transition you
chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that means your
VCR moves too quickly from Record-Pause to Record
mode.
● If the scene you tried to dub starts in progress, the VCR is
slow to start recording.
Adjustment Of VCR/Camcorder Timing
4
Press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF to make the Random
Assemble Editing menu disappear, then press MENU.
The Menu Screen appears.
5
Press SET to select "t". The VIDEO Menu appears.
6
Press r or t to select "SYNCHRO", and press SET.
The value for "SYNCHRO" is highlighted. (Factory-
preset: ±0.0)
7
Based on the diagnostics performed, you can now
advance the VCR's record timing by pressing r. You can
also delay the VCR's record timing by pressing t.
● The adjustment range is from –1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-
second increments.
Press SET to finish the setting.
8
Press r or t to select "BRETURN", and press SET
twice.
● Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning with
step 6 on page 46.
NOTES:
● Before performing actual Random Assemble Editing, do a
few Random Assemble Editing trial runs to check whether
the value you have input is appropriate or not, and make
adjustments accordingly.
● Depending on the recorder, there may be situations where
the timing difference cannot be fully corrected.
