Panasonic AG-7700E Operating Instructions Manual page 30

M@ If the EDIT START button is pressed without the editing mode having been set, the edit mode buttons
(ASSEMBLE, VIDEO Hi-Fi, AUDIO CH1, AUDIO CH2) flash 6 times to prompt the operator to select the mode.
HM Due to the preroll requirements, a pre-recorded section lasting at least 3 seconds must precede the edit start
point. Editing cannot be conducted from the very start of the tape.
Normally, the controller's preroll time is set to 5 or more seconds. However, when phase-synchronized editing is
not to be performed, editing is possible with a 3-second preroll time by using an external sync signal (EXT).
M However, since the external sync signal cannot be used during colour framing editing, editing cannot be
conducted if the section lasts only 3 seconds.
Precaution for assemble editing
@ Bear in mind that about 2 seconds of the original recording after the edit end point will be erased.
Precautions for insert editing
™@ The picture will be thrown into disarray at the edit start and end points if insert editing is conducted using the
VHS system on a tape which has been recorded using the S-VHS system.
™@ Since the control signal is used for the editing, make sure that the edit period does not extend beyond the
recording made on the tape.
