You can connect 2 sonys via the 9pin where 1 is the source deck and the
other the record deck. You can do a fake edit or preview and sync the 2
decks together. You mark an "in" on each deck and press the preview button.
The "in" is your beginning sync point. Depending on the other deck you may
have to do the fake edit or preview to an unused audio channel.
