Note: Point the remote control straight at the VCR's infrared receiver for 
operation. 
Note: Use the remote control indoors. When the infrared receivers of the 
VCR and camera/recorder are exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial 
light, the remote control may not operate correctly. 
Note: The remote control cannot be operated if there is an obstacle between 
the remote control and infrared receiver. Especially, be careful of this during 
dubbing. 
Note: When the edit remote control is connected to the camera/recorder, the 
buttons marked * in the figure above perform the same operations as those of 
the other remote control provided. 
Operation 
You can select up to four different scenes or segments to be copied at one 
time. 
Note: If sunlight or strong artificial light strikes the camera/recorder's infrared 
receiver, the editing operation may not be possible. In this case, attach the 
microphone cap to cover the receiver, then try to operate the edit remote 
control again.
