“0:00:00M” at the point on the tape
where you want to stop copying.
When the camcorder reaches
“0:00:00M” on the tape, it will
automatically stop the VCR from
recording, and put the VCR in the
record-pause mode.
Note: The corresponding buttons on the
remote control can also be used to operate the
camcorder.
