Random Assemble Editing [R.A. Edit]
Create edited videos easily using your camcorder as the
source player. You can select up to 8 “cuts” for automatic
editing, in any order you like. R.A. Edit is more easily
performed when the MBR (Multi-Brand Remote RM-
V704U or RM-V700U) is set to operate with your brand
of VCR (see VCR CODE LIST), but can also be performed
by operating the VCR manually.
SET REMOTE/VCR CODE
SET REMOTE TO OPERATE VCR
1
Turn off the power to the VCR and point the remote
toward the VCR’s infrared sensor. Then, referring to
the VCR CODE LIST on the left, press and hold MBR
SET, and press button (A) and then (B).
•The code is automatically set once you release the
MBR SET button, and the VCR’s power comes on.
OPERATE THE VCR
2
Make sure the VCR’s power is on. Then, while
holding VCR CTL, press the button on the remote for
the desired function. The functions the remote can
control are PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, FF, REW and VCR
REC STBY (you don't need to press VCR CTL for this
one).
You’re now ready to try Random Assemble Editing.
Although the MBR is compatible with JVC VCRs and
those of many other makers, it may not work with yours
or may offer limited functions.
●
If the VCR’s power doesn’t come on in step 1, try
another code from the VCR CODE LIST.
●
Some brands of VCR don’t come on automatically. In
this case, turn the power on manually and try step 2.
●
If the RM-V704U/V700U is not able to control the
VCR, use the controls on the VCR.

About moisture condensation . . .
•You have observed that pouring a cold liquid into
a glass will cause drops of water to form on the
glass‘ outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it
is moved from a cool place to a warm place, after
heating a cold room, under extremely humid
conditions or in a place directly subjected to the
cool air from an air conditioner.
•Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal
damage to the camcorder itself.
Serious malfunctioning
If malfunctioning occurs, stop using the unit
immediately and consult your local JVC dealer.
