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
1Play back the tape in the camcorder, then point the
remote control at the camcorder?s remote sensor and
press R.A.EDIT ON/OFF.

I If any images from the scene prior to the transition you
chose for your Edit-In point were recorded, that means your

mode.
