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.
DIAGNOSING VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING
1
Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point
the remote control at the camcorder’s remote sensor
and press
R.A.EDIT ON/OFF
.
The Random Assemble Editing Menu appears.
2
Perform Random Assemble Editing on Pro-
gramme 1 only. In order to check VCR and
camcorder timing, select the beginning of a scene
transition as your Edit-In point.
3
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.
ADJUSTMENT OF VCR/CAMCORDER TIMING
4
Point the remote control at the camcorder’s
remote sensor and press
R.A.EDIT ON/OFF
to make
the Random Assemble Editing menu disappear, then
press the
MENU/BRIGHT
wheel in. The Menu
Screen appears.
5
Rotate the
MENU/BRIGHT
wheel to select “
VIDEO” and press it. The VIDEO Menu appears.
Then, rotate it to “SYNCHRO” and press it. The value
for “SYNCHRO” is highlighted.
6
Based on the diagnostics performed, you can
now advance the VCR’s record timing by rotating the
MENU/BRIGHT
wheel towards “
+
”. You can also
delay the VCR’s record timing by rotating the
MENU/
BRIGHT
wheel towards “
–
”. The adjustment range is
from –1.3 to +1.3 seconds, in 0.1-second increments.
Press the
MENU/BRIGHT
wheel in to finish the
setting.
7
Rotate the
MENU/BRIGHT
wheel to select
“
RETURN” and press it twice.
Now perform Random Assemble Editing beginning
with step
4
on page 60.
NOTES:
●
Before performing actual Random Assemble Editing, do
a few Random Assemble Editing trial runs to check
whether the value you have input is appropriate or not,
and make adjustments accordingly.
●
Depending on the recorder, there may be situations
where the timing difference cannot be fully corrected.
