Adjustment Of Vcr/Camcorder Timing; Diagnosing Vcr/Camcorder Timing - JVC GR-DVM76 Instructions Manual

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.

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.

accordingly.
Depending on the recorder, there may be
situations where the timing difference cannot be
fully corrected.
