Creating the Tapes For Editing
In order to operate editing functions correctly, use these tapes
for editing as follows:
Tape on which the picture and sound have been recorded properly for about 20
seconds prior to the edit start point: [Playback unit] [Recording unit]
This VCR first rewinds the tape to the section prior to the edit start point and then
commences editing. For this reason, accurate editing cannot be performed if the tape
has been left blank or if the picture and sound have not been recorded properly for 20
seconds prior to the edit start point.
Tape on which the Time code has been recorded continuously:
[Playback unit]
[Recording unit]
If the recording is broken up or if the tape is blank in places, the Time code will lack
continuity, and editing will be aborted.
Tape which was recorded in SP mode:
[Recording unit]
(This applies to Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing only.)
The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was
recorded in the LP mode.
Tape which was recorded in the 12bit audio mode:
[Recording unit]
(This applies to AV Insert, Audio Dubbing and Audio Mixing editing only.)
The above types of editing operations cannot be performed on a tape which was
recorded in the 16bit audio mode.
When a tape which was recorded on another video recorder is used for Insert, Audio
Dubbing or Audio Mixing editing operations, the sound may deteriorate and the
picture may be disturbed.
If tapes answering to the above description are not available,
proceed with dubbing by following the steps below to create
the tapes for editing.
1 Load the original cassette tape into the playback unit and the new cassette tape into
the recording VCR (this VCR).
2
Connect the playback unit and recording VCR (this VCR).
For the connection, use the DV cable when the contents of the original cassette are to
be copied using their original digital signals, and use the AV cable when the contents
are to be copied using the signals from the video and audio sockets.
(To dub a 16bit audio tape and make a 12bit audio tape, connect the units using the
AV cables, and proceed with the dubbing.)
3
Check that EDIT CONTROL is at the OFF position.
4
Set the VCR’s tape speed to
SP.
5
Record a blank picture for about 20 seconds.
Set the playback unit to the stop mode, set INPUT SELECT on the recording VCR
(this VCR) to A2 and start recording.
6
Switch over the input of the recording VCR (this VCR).
If the DV cable was used for the connection in step
2,
switch over to “DV IN”; if the AV
cable was used, switch over to A1 or A2.
7
Press the play button on the playback unit to start playing the original tape.
8
Press REC on the recording VCR (this VCR) to start dubbing.
Notes:
Digital copying using a DV cable yields a picture quality which undergoes hardly any
deterioration at all.
If a digital video tape is dubbed without connecting the DV cable, the original sub code
data (Photoshot index signals, date information, etc.) will not be copied.
The Time code is simultaneously recorded over the sub code of the tape when the tape
is recorded. Also recorded in the sub code are the photoshot index signals, information
on the recording date, etc.
For further details on the Time code, see page 66.
