In step 3, select CUSTOM1 SET or CUSTOM2 SET, depending on which title you want
to change, then press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial.
Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select [

C], then press the dial to delete the title. The

last character is erased. Enter the new title as desired.

If you take three minutes or longer to enter characters in the standby mode while
a cassette is in your camcorder
The power automatically goes off. The characters you have entered remain stored in
memory. Set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) once, and turn it to CAMERA again,
then proceed from step 1.
We recommend setting the POWER switch to VCR or removing the cassette so that
your camcorder does not automatically turn off while you are entering title characters.

The menu for selecting alphabet and Russian characters appear. Select [

] to return

to the previous screen.

To erase a character
Select [

C]. The last character is erased.

To enter a space
Select [Z& ?!], then select the blank part.

You can insert a scene in the middle of a recorded tape by setting the start and end
points. The previously recorded frames between these start and end points will be
erased.
Use the Remote Commander for this operation.

(1) In the standby mode, keep pressing EDITSEARCH, and release the button at

the insert end point [b].

(2) Press ZERO SET MEMORY on the Remote Commander.

The ZERO SET MEMORY indicator flashes and the counter resets to zero.

(3) Keep pressing the – 

7 side of EDITSEARCH and release the button at the

insert start point [a].

(4) Press START/STOP to start recording.

The scene is inserted. Recording stops automatically near the counter zero
point. Your camcorder returns to the standby mode.

Notes
•The zero set memory function works only for tapes recorded in the Digital8   system.
•The picture and the sound may be distorted at the end of the inserted section when it

is played back.

If a tape has a blank portion between recorded portions
The zero set memory function may not work correctly.
