SERIES RECORDING
Using 2 VCRs or more, the series recording function lets
you switch recording from one unit to the next (only with
VCRs of the same model as this one).

the recording speed mode.

3 Press the REC button on VCR No.1.
ø
Recording will start in series recording mode.
4 Set the security lock on VCR No.1.
The SERIES OUT signal will be present either at the point
where approximately 5% of the tape remains (if recording
has been started at the beginning of the tape) or when
VCR No. 1 reaches the end of the tape (if recording has
not been started at the beginning of the tape). The signal
will stop 70 seconds after the tape end point of VCR No. 1.
When this signal is received by VCR No. 2, it will start
recording. During the period when the SERIES OUT
signal is being received by VCR No. 2, if the STOP button
of VCR No. 2 is accidentally pressed, VCR No. 2 will go
into the stop mode for an instant and then return to the
record mode.
To prevent this form occuring, the security lock of VCR
No. 2 should be set to the on condition.
If TAPE END MODE is set to “REW”, when the end of the
tape is reached “OFF” is displayed, the tape is rewound
then stops.
NOTES:
œ If approximately 5% of the tape or less remains in VCR
No.1, when the REC button is pressed (step 3), the
recording will start on VCR No. 2.
œ If in the (VARIOUS SET 2) menu “SERIES REC IN” is
set to “N”, series recording will not be possible.
œ The counter must start from the beginning of tape, or
the series recording out will not function properly.
œ Even if “OFF” is displayed, series recording will be
conducted if there is an input at the SERIES IN
terminal.
