Select the start point of the section of the program that you want to copy. You can
locate the beginning of the program by using the shuttle dial or the PLAY, REWIND, or
FAST FORWARD controls.
When you have located the start point of your edit press the EDIT button on the
remote. The current time counter is registered.
Locate the end point of your edit using the shuttle dial or remote control functions
then press EDIT on the remote control. The current time counter is registered and you
now have the start and end points for your edit.
Press the EDIT button one more time; the program menu will disappear from the
screen and EXECUTE will flash. The VCR will automatically search to find a point about
ten seconds before the beginning of the program section that you want to copy.
The VCR will then enter the "play" mode. When the "START" point is reached the
word EXECUTE will disappear on the screen to show that your program segment is
being copied.
Putting The Record VCR In Pause
Some models of VCR will switch to the "STOP" mode if they are left in the
RECORD/PAUSE mode for more than five minutes. It is a good idea to not leave your
recording deck in RECORD/PAUSE for more than five minutes so that this will not
happen.

About Programmable Edit
When editing starts, the playback VCR will start playing at a point slightly before the
start of the program, this is normal. It is a good idea to have something recorded before
the starting point of the edit because the edit may operate incorrectly if there is an
unrecorded section before the start point.
