Assemble Editing
Assemble editing is the process of copying scenes from an external source such as a movie camera, to this VCR.
These scenes can be assembled in the order of your choice to create your own unique composition.
Preparations:
• Connect a video movie camera or a VCR to this VCR with an audio/
video cable or a 21-pin Scart cable, as shown in the illustration.
• Display the VCR picture on the TV.
• Insert the cassette on which you wish to record, and ensure that its
erasure prevention tab is intact.
• Set the [VCR/TV] switch
(23)
to [VCR].
• Press the [INPUT SELECT] button
(3)
to select the AV Input
(external input) [A1], [A2] or [A3] depending on the socket(s) on the
VCR to which the source unit has been connected.
A1: When connected to the AV1 21-pin Scart socket
(52)
A2: When connected to the AV2 21-pin Scart socket
(51)
• Make sure that [AV2] is set to [NORMAL]. (See page 39.)
A3: When connecting a mono source to the front inputs use the left
audio connector only.
• Use the L connector for operations in the normal (monaural)
mode.
