connections. If you wish to edit with another machine connected to
the rear input connectors, make sure that there is nothing connected
to the front connectors.

press the remote control's C.RESET button. Then follow steps 8
through 11 in "Insert Editing" (C7 p.34); insert editing will stop

absent.
Random Assemble Editing
= When editing, there may be a discrepancy of about 2 seconds on the
playback tape between the locations you choose as cut-in/out points
and the locations the VCR recognizes as those points.
™ For any scene, the cut-out point must have a counter reading that is
at least 1 second after the cut-in point. A cut-out point with a counter
reading less than or the same as the cut-in point will not be
* yegistered.
® Since:the playback deck prerolls during ‘Random Assemble Editing,
there must, be at least 15. seconds worth of recorded material prior to
any cut-in point on the playback tape:
i If the search time for a cut-in point exceeds 5 minutes, the recording
deck’s Record-Pause mode will be cancelled and editing will not take
lace.

result in damage to the VCR, remote control, or video

just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass filled with cold
liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to
the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur; keep the VCR's
power turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.
