Hitachi VM-E110E - Synchro Edit

SYNCHRO EDIT
Synchro edit allows your camera/recorder to control a compatible VCR (one that has an EDIT IN jack)
while tapes are being copied from the camera/recorder to the VCR. This is convenient when you want
to record only selected segments from a previously recorded tape.
1. Connect your camera/recorder to a compat¬
ible VCR as shown above. An optional syn¬
chro edit cable is required.
NOTES:
• Select line input with your VCR. Refer to
the instruction manual of your VCR for
details.
• If your VCR has a single (mono) audio input,
connect either the left or right audio plug to
the audio input on the VCR.
2. Insert the recorded tape into the camera/
recorder.
3. Insert the blank tape into the recording VCR.
4. Point the remote control at the receiver on the
camera/recorder and use the remote control
to operate the camera/recorder.
5. Press PLAY and then REW or F.FWD button to
search to the approximate position of the tape
on which you want to dub a picture.
6. Press PLAY button again to search the exact
position where you stop dubbing and then
press PAUSE button.
7. Press DISPLAY button so that the linear time
counter with memory appears and then press
COUNTER RESET button to set the counter
reading to "0:00:00M".
8. Press REW button to rewind the tape to the
approximate position from which you want to
start dubbing.
9. Press PLAY button, and when the exact pos¬
ition from which you start to dub is reached,
press PAUSE button.
10. Press RECORD button on the VCR. The VCR
automatically enters record/pause mode.
NOTE: If the VCR begins to record instead of
pausing, you will need to change the position
of the switch on the synchro edit cable. Stop
the VCR, change the switch, and then press
RECORD button on the VCR again.
11. Pressing S.EDIT button puts the camera/
recorder in the review mode for several sec¬
onds and then into the playback mode.
The recording VCR starts recording and stops
automatically when the counter reading of the
camera/recorder reads "0:00:00M".
NOTES:
• Pressing REW, F.FWD, STOP or PAUSE button
automatically puts the VCR into the record/
pause mode. This allows you to search (for¬
ward or backward), fast-forward or rewind the
tape in the camera/recorder without disturb¬
ing the tape in the VCR.
• To search forward (or backward), press F.FWD
(or REW) button. When you press PLAY but¬
ton, the camera/recorder will resume normal
playback. To begin copying again, press
PAUSE button and then the S.EDIT button.
• To fast-forward (or rewind) the tape, press
STOP then F.FWD (or REW). To begin copying
again, press STOP, then PLAY, then PAUSE to
pause the camera/recorder, and S.EDIT to
