Replacing Recording on a Tape

You can insert a new picture, sound, recording date/time, camera information, etc., from a VCR onto

your originally recorded tape by specifying and ending points.

Connection is the same as in "Using the DV connecting cable" on page 54.  Refer to the instruction

manual of the connected equipment also.

(1) Turn the POWER switch to VTR.

(2) Search for the start point to be inserted on the VCR, then set the VCR to playback pause mode.

(3) Search for the point where you want to end insert editing, then set the camcorder to playback pause

mode.

It is convenient to use the EDITSEARCH button (p. 14).

(4) Press ZERO SET MEMORY.

The counter is reset to zero (0:00:00:00).

(5) Search for the point where you want to start editing, then set the camcorder to recording pause

mode.

(6) Press P on the camcorder and the VCR simultaneously to start editing.

The editing starts and new scene is inserted on the recorded tape.  The editing stops automatically near

the counter zero point (0:00:00:00).

About editing

You can start editing without setting the end point.  Instead of steps 3 and 4, press  STOP at the desired end

point.

Notes on editing

  You cannot edit with the equipment which is not connected to DV connector.

  The previous recorded scene is erased when editing starts.

  The picture may be distorted at the end of the inserted portion when it is played back.
