Synchro edit allows your camcorder
to control a compatible VCR (one
that has a camera pause jack) while
tapes are being copied from the
camcorder to the VCR.
The

camcorder causes the VCR to start
and stop recording. This is
especially convenient when you
want to record only selected
segments from a previously
recorded tape.

compatible VCR as shown
