Editing
When you use the editing function for the
first time, or with a different VCR, you
should set your camcorder to send the correct
remote control signals to your VCR.
The camera will not forget this setting unless
you change it. Do not alter it again unless
you change VCRs.

Preparations & Setting Up
Use the chart on p. 62 to find the RECORDER settings for your brand of VCR.
Make sure the camcorder’s infra-red control signals can reach the VCR, and the
VCR is in record pause mode. (Ready to record and on pause.)
1. Set RECORDER to the first setting for your brand of VCR.
• For example, 7-A if you have a JVC VCR.
• Turn the command dial clockwise to change the setting.
2. If the setting is correct, the VCR will start recording automatically.
• This will occur as long as the camera is pointing at the VCR’s remote sensor
while you change the setting.
3. If the VCR does not start recording, try the next setting.
• Turn the command dial (to 7-B in the above example).
• Try each setting in turn until the VCR starts to record.
• During this operation, you cannot operate the wireless controller.
4. Depending on the brand of VCR, the signals to start and pause
recording may differ. Once the VCR starts to record, check that the
setting is right.
Set the VCR to record-pause again, then press the camera’s
start/stop button.
• The VCR should start to record for a few seconds, and REC appears in the
display and on the TV screen. Then it will automatically pause and PAUSE
appears in the display and on screen.
• During these REC, PAUSE operations, the VCR records digital timer, which
you will use later for Cut-In and Cut-Out Adjustments. For more accurate
adjustments, we recommend you to repeat pressing the start/stop button to
record couple of times.
• If not, then the setting is still not right. Try the next setting.
