Programming the Remote Control for the VCR
It is necessary to program the edit remote control to match the VCR before starting editing.
1. Turn the VCR on.
2. Aim the remote control at the infrared receiver on the VCR and press the VCR SET button on the remote
control and hold it, then press the button corresponding to the VCR's maker code. For example, if you have a
RCA VCR, press the VCR SET button and hold it, then press the DISPLAY button. To check whether the remote
control code matches that of your VCR or not, point the remote control at the infrared receiver on the VCR and
press the VCR SET button and hold it. If the remote control code has been set, the VCR channel is counted up
automatically.
Note: If the channel on the VCR does not change with the above operation, you need to switch the remote control
code of your VCR. Refer to the VCR's instruction manual. If the channel still does not change after you have
changed the VCR's remote control code, the edit remote control cannot operate your VCR.
Note: The remote control code is held in memory until it is changed or the batteries are replaced.
Note: Use the remote control indoors. When the infrared receivers of the VCR and cam-corder are exposed to
direct sunlight or strong artificial light, the remote control may not be operate correctly.
Note: The remote control cannot be operated if there is an obstacle between the remote control and infrared
receiver. Especially, be careful of this during dubbing.
Note: When the edit remote control is connected to the camcorder, the camcorder can be operated with the
buttons marked * in the above figure. See pages 53 and 54 for details.
