Using Synchro Edit (The remote control is optional for VM-E110A)

Use synchro edit to record only segments of a previously recorded tape when dubbing from
the camcorder to a VCR. This requires an optional synchro edit cable. The Hitachi VM-
E110A/E310A uses a flying erase head to eliminate glitches or rainbow noise that sometimes
occurs between edits. Your VCR must have the EDIT IN jack to use the synchro edit.
