How to calculate the best adjustment for the “cut-in” and

“cut-out” points

Use the tape on which you recorded the digital timer in “Setting RECORDER” to

calculate the cut-in and cut-out adjustment values.

1. Rewind the tape in the VCR and play back the recorded digital

timer.

• Look at the time the CUT-OUT timer stops and CUT-IN timer starts. These

times are what the CUT-OUT ADJ. and CUT-IN ADJ. settings should be.

• For maximum accuracy, take an average of at least three readings.

• If your VCR has a frame advance function or a jog dial, you can use it to

find the precise starting times more conveniently.

2. Set the CUT-OUT ADJ. and CUT-IN ADJ. settings to the center of

the three readings.

• The camcorder will remember the cut-in and cut-out adjustment settings until

you change them.
