reorder, to make your videos perfect.

a TV" instructions on page 21.

or set the TV/Video selector to Video.

displayed on the screen of the TV connected your VCR. However, these

Setting the Camera to Control your VCR
The camcorder's Auto Editing Function
controls your VCR by using the same
infra-red signals as the VCR's remote
control.
Make sure the camera is in a spot where
it can remotely control your VCR.
1. Check where the remote control sensor is on your VCR using its
normal remote control.
2. Place the camera pointing directly at the sensor, not more 20 inches
(50cm) away.
• Check that the sensor will pick up signals easily from this spot using the
VCR's normal remote control.
• Make sure that the cables and the camera strap do not obstruct the signals.
3. Make sure that the VCR is in record-pause mode.
4. Make sure that all the other video equipments are turned off to
avoid accidental recording.
