between edits. Your VCR must have the EDIT IN jack to use the synchro 
edit. 
Synchro Edit hookup Illustration 
1. Connect the synchro edit cable to the AV IN/OUT jack of your 
camera/recorder. 
2. Connect the synchro edit cable to the AUDIO IN, VIDEO IN, and EDIT 
IN jacks of your VCR. Connect either the right or left audio plug into your 
VCR if it has only one AUDIO IN jack. 
Note: Some VCR's have an S-VIDEO IN jack. Connect the black S-VIDEO 
plug to the VCR instead of the yellow VIDEO plug. 
3. Insert the recorded tape in the camera/recorder and a blank tape into 
the VCR. 
4. Play the tape in the camera/recorder until you find the place you want to 
record. Press the Start/Stop button. 
5. Press the RECORD button on the VCR. It automatically sets to pause. 
If the VCR begins to record instead of pausing you need to change the 
position of the polarity switch on the synchro edit cable. Stop the VCR, 
change the position of the polarity switch, and press the RECORD button 
on the VCR. 
6. Press the S.EDIT button on the remote control and the last few seconds 
of the recorded tape reviews in the viewfinder and then the 
camera/recorder is placed in playback. The recording VCR starts 
recording automatically. 
7. Press the F.FWD, REW, STOP and Start/Stop buttons to pause the 
VCR. You can then search forward or back through the tape without 
affecting the tape in the VCR. 
Use the F.FWD and REW buttons to search the tape. Press the PLAY 
button to resume normal playback. To resume recording on the tape in the 
VCR, press the Start/Stop button and then the S.EDIT button. 
To fast forward or rewind the tape, press the STOP button, then F.FWD or 
REW. To return to recording on the tape in the VCR, press the STOP 
button, then the PLAY button, then the Start/Stop button, and then the 
S.EDIT button. 
8. To stop recording at a certain point turn on the camera/recorder's linear 
time counter with memory ("Using Memory," p.23). Press the COUNTER 
RESET button on the remote control where you wish the recording to stop. 
The linear time counter resets to 0:00:00M. Rewind to the point where you 
wish to start recording and start copying. When the linear time counter 
reaches 0:00:00 the recording stops automatically, pausing the VCR in the 
record mode. 
Note: If the tape counter reads "0:00:00M" you cannot start recording. 
Simple Programmable Edit 
Simple programmable edit allows you to program your camera/recorder to 
select the scenes you want to copy from a pre-recorded tape. Use the edit 
remote control (provided) to easily copy scenes from a recorded tape in 
the camera/recorder (playback machine) onto a blank tape in a table-top 
VCR which handles infrared remote signals (recording machine).
