Note: If the VCR is connected to a television and the VCR/TV selector is set to VCR, you can monitor the
tape being dubbed.
Using Synchro Edit
Use synchro edit to record segments of a previously recorded tape when dubbing from the camcorder to a VCR.
This requires an optional synchro edit cable. The Hitachi VM-H100LA 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.

through the tape, fast forward, or rewind the tape without affecting the tape in the VCR.
Use the F.FWD and REW buttons to search the tape. Press the PLAY button to resume normal playback. To
resume recording on the tape in the VCR, press the Start/Stop button and then the S.EDIT button.
To fast forward or rewind the tape, press the STOP button, then F.FWD or REW. To return to recording on the
tape in the VCR, press the STOP button, then the PLAY button, then the Start/Stop button, and then the S.EDIT
button.
8. To stop recording at a certain point turn on the camcorder's linear time counter with memory ("Memory

The linear time counter resets to 0:00:00M. Rewind to the point where you wish to start recording and start
copying. When the linear time counter reaches 0:00:00M the recording stops automatically, pausing the VCR in
button on the remote control or camcorder.
