To Edit only Desired Scenes Automatically in the Desired Sequence
—Automatic Assemble Editing
The recorder is controlled by the tape transport signal of
the player. However the cut-in and cut-out points of the
recorder may not coincide with those of the player for the
following reasons.
— The editing point is decided by the count number (not
the frame).
— Atime lag is caused between the playback picture and
the count number of the player.
— The recorder starts recording after the decided cut-in
point.
To reduce the time lag between the playback
picture and the count number of the player
« Locate the cut-in and cut-out points with the picture
search (cue or review).
« Reset the counter with the COUNTER RESET button
from the beginning of the tape. When tape editing of the
same scenes is to be repeated, reset the counter at the
same point before editing tape.

About the time lag of the recorder caused by a
rise time
Some VCRs may take a time to start recording from the
recording pause mode. Therefore the beginning of the
edited tape may not be recorded. To avoid this, this unit
is equipped with a timing adjust function (page 44).
