If your other VCR has a control L ( @ LANC) connector, you can take advantage of a
feature called “Synchronized Editing” that controls both VCRs (recording VCR and
playback VCR), and releases the pause when SYNCHRO EDIT is pressed. To use
this function, you must connect a designated contro! cable (contro! L or S cable) in
addition to the connections of the audio and video cables.
There are two types of control cables: control L (LANC) cable and control S cable
depending on the type of connectors of the VCRs.
