Advanced Features
Editing
Video editing lets you refine your videos by
removing unwanted sequences from your tape,
or transposing one sequence with another.
This camcorder lets you monitor the source
program on the built-in LCD monitor without
having to connect it to an external TV or video
monitor.
Connect the camcorder to a VCR with the
supplied audio/video cable, as shown.

you wish to keep.
