EDITING A RECORDING
OPERATING HINTS
1 Press PLAY and watch the program until you reach
the exact point where you want the new recording to
start.
2 Press PAUSE.
3 Press REC once.
The program material to be recorded will appear on the tele-
vision.
4 When you wish to start recording, press PAUSE again.
The new program material will directly follow the previously
recorded material. This feature is especially helpful for dub-
bing from the camcorder to the VCR and making various seg-
ments of a recording into a continuous program.
• In manual recording, Timer recording, Instant Timer Recording,
playback, or fast forward modes, the VCR automatically starts
rewinding at the end of the tape. The cassette will stop at the
beginning of the tape and be ejected, and the VCR will turn
itself off.
• After you have finished using the VCR, rewind, eject, and
remove the cassette. Place the cassette in its protective sleeve
to protect it from dust. It is not necessary to rewind the cassette
before removing it, but if you do, it will be ready to play or
record the next time you use it.
• Be sure the VCR Channel Selector is on the correct channel
you wish to record. The channel that is being recorded can
always be checked by setting the television to the VCR chan-
nel (3 or 4) and pressing the TV/VCR selector to turn the VCR
indicator on.
• Do not attempt to hook up more than one television set to the
VCR for either recording or playback.
