Video Dubbing
Video dubbing is a procedure whereby you can replace sections of video on your tape
with new video information. The dubbing erases the old video while laying new video
in its place. During video dubbing the Hi-Fi audio section will be erased but dubbing
will not affect the audio recorded onto the linear track. (See page 29 "Choosing a
Mode for Audio Playback" for more information)
The new video information can come from either a camcorder, another VCR, or any
other device that can generate a video signal.
