rerecord scenes from an original tape in any order.
You can then view the entire finished product and
make all the fine adjustments you want before the
final recording. It is easy to reorder or re-adjust

Setting the Camera to Control your

The camcorder’s auto editing function controls your
VCR by using the same infra-red signals as the
VCR’s remote control.

is on your VCR using its normal remote

3. T urn on the VCR and load a blank
cassette.
4. Set the VCR to line-input and make the
VCR in record-pause mode.
5. Turn the camera’s program selector to
EDIT.
• When you set the program selector to EDIT,
all viewfinder displays are also displayed on
the screen of the TV attached to your VCR.
However, these displays will not be recorded
onto the tape in the VCR.
2. Place the camera pointing directly at
the sensor, not more 50 cm (20 inches)
away.
• Check that the sensor will pick up signals
easily from this spot using the VCR’s normal
remote control.
• Make sure that the cables and the camera
strap do not obstruct the signals.
3. Make sure that the VCR is in record-
pause mode.
• In other words: it is ready to record, with a
blank tape loaded and record and pause on.
