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 the RECORDER
SELECT setting unless you change it. Do not alter
it unless you change VCR.
1. Make sure that the camera and VCR are
set up as in “Preparations,” and
“Setting up your camera to control your
VCR,” p. 32.
2. Open the menu and point the arrow to
RECORDER SELECT.
3. Choose the correct setting for your VCR
using the chart on the right.
• Hold down the FlexiZone controller to the right
to change the numbers and letters, until you
come to the first setting for your brand of VCR.
(For example, 7-A if you have a JVC VCR.)
• Check if this is the right setting:
First, press the FLEXIZONE AE button.
If the VCR starts to record, this is the correct
setting.
If the VCR does not start to record, try the
next setting (7-B in the above example.)
Try all the settings for your VCR brand in turn.
4. If you cannot find the correct setting as
above, use the following method.
• Hold the FlexiZone controller down to the
right.
• The letters and numbers in the viewfinder or
on the TV screen will change. The camera
searches all possible settings.
• Release this when the VCR starts to record. It
should not take more than 80 seconds to find
the correct setting.
• Check if this is the right setting:
First, put the VCR into record pause mode.
(Ready to record, pause on.)
Then press the FLEXIZONE AE button. The
VCR should start recording again.
If not, try the setting immediately before.
5. A s a final test, try the using the Auto
Editing Function. If the VCR does not
start and stop correctly, try another
setting.
• The number (i.e. the manufacturer) is probably
right, but try some of the other letters.
RECORDER SELECT
The camera’s Auto Editing Function can
remotely control almost all brands and
models of VCR. VCR remote control signals
vary depending on model and brand, so first
choose the right setting with RECORDER
SELECT in the EDIT menu. Beside
RECORDER SELECT, there is a number and
a letter. The number indicates the VCR
brand. The letter indicates the set of signals.

Notes:
• While using RECORDER SELECT, the
FLEXIZONE AE button will make your VCR
start recording if it is in record pause mode.
• If you are not sure of the right setting, follow
the instructions on the left.
Note:
If you try all the numbers and letters, but the VCR
has still not started to record:
• Check the VCR is ready to record, and on pause.
• Check the VCR can receive signals from where
the camera is, and that nothing is blocking the
signals.
• Go back and try to set it again. As always with
remote control infra-red signals, it may not be
received correctly first time.
• It is unlikely, but you may have a VCR the Auto
Editing Function cannot control. If so use the
Simple Editing method on p. 40.
