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.
Preparation
Connect the camcorder to a VCR with the
supplied audio/video/S-video cable, as
shown.
Notes:
•
If your VCR has a 21-pin Euro-SCART
connector, use a commercially available
RCA/21-pin Euro-SCART conversion
connector.
• See page 2 for how to open the terminal
cover.
• If your VCR has only one audio input jack,
use the white plug for the audio connection
on the VCR.
• If your VCR has an S-video input socket, you
do not need to connect the yellow video plug.

with the edited sequences if the TC OUT
menu item is set to “ON”. Set to “OFF” before
