Assemble editing
Notes
If the remaining time appears
in the display window of the
main unit, You cannot
execute assemble editing.
Do not select another input
while assemble editing is
being executed. Editing may
not be done correctly.
This VCR may malfunction if
the IN/OUT points are not
separated by more than two
seconds.
If an event you want to
record is marked with a time
code of less than 0:01:00:00,
the event will be edited
inaccurately. In this case, use
the manual editing
procedure.
If the time code of the other
VCR is displayed as “––:––:––

rewind, assemble edit may
not function.
You cannot press PLAYER

mode.

If you record over a previous
recording, the end of the new
recording will not continue
on to the original recording
smoothly.
If you record on the
beginning part of the tape, or
on the part just after the
unrecorded portion, the first
part of recording may be
dropped.
When you record on a new or
fully rewound tape, do a trial
recording for about 15
seconds, then start the actual
recording. If you start the
actual recording from the
beginning of the tape, the first
part may not be recorded
when you play back the tape
on another VCR.
Tips
To prevent tape damage, the
tape automatically starts play
back frame by frame if
recording pause continues for
about 5 minutes.
To record to the end after the
last event, leave the OUT
point of the last event
unspecified.
