Preparation 3: Adjusting the synchronization of the VCR
You can adjust the synchronization of your camcorder and the VCR.
Remove the cassette from the camcorder beforehand. We recommend that you prepare
a pen and paper for notes.
When you connect to a Sony VCR using an i.LINK cable, and have set CONTROL to
i.LINK, the setup below is not necessary.
(1) Insert a recordable tape into the VCR, then set it to recording pause.
When you connect using an i.LINK cable and have set CONTROL to i.LINK, you
do not have to turn the recording VCR to recording pause mode.
(2) Set the POWER switch to VCR.
(3) Press MENU to display the menu.
(4) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select
, then press the dial.
(5) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select EDIT SET, then press the dial.

(7) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select EXECUTE, then press the dial.
CUT-IN and CUT-OUT are recorded on an image for five times each to calculate
the numerical values for adjusting the synchronization.
The EXECUTING indicator flashes on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. When
finished, the indicator changes to COMPLETE.

Take a note of the opening numerical value of each CUT-IN and the closing
numerical value of each CUT-OUT.

average of all the closing numerical values of each CUT-OUT.
