Press PLAY/PAUSE, then press R.A. EDIT and the
counter display appears in the viewfinder or the
LCD monitor and the screen of the connected TV.

you want, then press IN/OUT to register that point.
The data appears under “IN” on the display.

(as many as 8).

MAKE CORRECTIONS

NOTES:

The RM-V704U/V700U can be used to operate other
camcorder functions as well. Point the
RM-V704U/V700U at the camcorder’s remote sensor
and press any of the following buttons (function
appears in parentheses):
— ON/OFF (camcorder R.A. EDIT)
— IN/OUT (camcorder IN/OUT)
— CANCEL (camcorder CANCEL)

There must be at least one second between an in-point
and its corresponding out-point.

To ensure correct operation, leave at least 15 seconds
open between scenes.

Blank portions of tape cannot be registered as in-points
or out-points.

If it takes more than 5 minutes to search for an in-point,
the VCR’s Record-Pause mode is cancelled and editing
doesn’t take place.

Pressing R.A.EDIT clears all in- and out-points from
memory.

Leave a small margin for error around each in-point to
ensure the scene is recorded in its entirety.
