Hello creature
I found this on a manual on the web…it looks like the only way to edit with the dsr 30 is by the lanc controller. Could be wrong but worth a look. strange but looks like it may be true!!

LANC Editing
The DSR-30 is equipped with LANC
connectors. By connecting the DSR-30 with
another LANC based recorder or a camcorder
such as the DSR-200A or DSR-PD1, TC-based
accurate editing is possible. Even without an
editing controller, the DSR-30 is capable of
assemble editing with a program memory of
up to ten events. Insertion of video and/or
audio signal is also possible without an editing
controller. With the optional FXE-120 Video
Editing System connected, the DSR-30 can
serve as a feeder machine for a professional
A/B roll editing system.
