Manual Recording
Manual recording (sometimes referred to as crash recording) involves bypassing deck control in the Avid application and using manual operation of the record deck. Because the timing of playback is based on manual procedures, the recording is not frame accurate. However, you do not need to record timecode onto the tape in advance. You can also record onto non-Avid-controlled decks, such as a consumer-grade VHS or Hi8.
  You cannot manually record to a DV device or camera. Use the Digital Cut tool with local control. For more information, see Recording a Digital Cut to Tape (Local Mode).
To record manually:
1.  If the record deck has a serial control switch, set it to Local.
2.  Use the controls on the deck to start the videotape recording.
3.  Play the sequence.
