Video Dubbing
Video dubbing is a procedure whereby you can replace sections of video on your tape with
new video information. The dubbing erases the old video while laying new video in its place.
During video dubbing the Hi-Fi audio section will be erased but dubbing will not affect the
audio recorded onto the linear track. (See page 27 "Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback" for
more information)
The new video information can come from either a camcorder, another VCR, or any other
device that can generate a video signal.
* When an audio cable is connected to the AUDIO IN jacks, new audio signals can be
recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks.
To begin dubbing
First connect the video source (camcorder, VCR, etc.) to the input jacks on the front of your
VT-UX717A. (See example above)
Press the AVX button (located on the remote control) to select L2 (Line 2) which appears in
the VCR's channel display.
Find the place on the tape which will become the start point for your video dub. This can be
done using the PLAY button and the SHUTTLE dial. Pause the tape when you reach your start
point.
Press the DISPLAY button (located on the remote control) to display the counter reading in
the VCR's display. The number shown will be your "start point".
To find the "end point" of your video dub play or search through the tape until you find the
place where the video dub will stop.
Press CLEAR (located on the remote control) and the VCR display will read "0:00:00".
Rewind the tape to the "start point" using the SHUTTLE dial. By using the Shuttle dial you
can find the exact spot you wish the dubbing to start.
Press V.DUB button on the remote control. Then press the PAUSE button to begin video
dubbing. The VCR will stop automatically when the counter reads "0:00:00" (the "end point").
