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.
