More accurate editing can be accomplished using the Synchro-Edit feature found on a number of Hi8 and VHS recording decks. The details of the operation vary from VCR to VCR, but in principle they do the same thing. Study the instructions in the manual for the unit with which you are working, for the exact procedure. The player is controlled by Control L or Control S from the recorder. Use the jog-shuttle dial on the recorder to choose the point at which the recording is to begin on the product tape in the recorder; then choose the exact starting and ending points of a desired segment of the original tape in the player. Then activate the Synchro-edit procedure. The recorder starts and stops both machines (with appropriate pre-rolls) to perform the edit with an accuracy of 3 to 5 frames
