$
[TAPE END OUT] tape end signal output terminal
Outputs a signal when the tape ends during recording.
If the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the <SRI/EXT
MODE> screen is set, signals are output when the
specified tape reel counter value is exceeded.
• Outputs a +12 V signal during recording. When the
tape ends or the specified counter value is passed, a 0
V (GND level) signal is output.
• When the tape ends during auto repeat recording or
auto rewind recording, 0 V signal is output for about 2
seconds.
• Connect an external alarm or buzzer via an external
interface.
• To cancel the output, press the [EJECT] button,
[PLAY] button, [FF] button or [REW] button.
2 CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS

Connect to an AC 120 V : U model, AC220 -240 V : E
model, 50/60 Hz power outlet using the provided AC
power cable.
2
[REMOTE] remote connector (RCA)
Connect the optional RM-G30U remote control.
3
[MIC IN] mic input connector

signals are input from both the microphone connector
and the audio input connector, audio signals are mixed
and recorded.
4
[AUDIO IN] audio input connector (RCA)
Receives audio signals from a connected audio
source.
5
[AUDIO OUT] audio output connector (RCA)
Outputs audio signals. No signal is output in the
Timelapse Recording/Playback mode (except in the
L12H/L18H/L24H mode : U model, L12H/L24H mode : E
model).
6
[VIDEO IN] video input connector (BNC)
Receives composite video signals from a connected
camera or other video source.
7

is not supplied to this unit, input signals (composite
video signals) from a camera can be output through this
connector (Operating mode-Off Video Throughout
function).

[COM] common ground terminal
Connect to the signal ground terminal of a connected
unit.
^
[WARNING OUT] warning signal output terminal
Outputs warning signals (+12 V) when a tape running or
mechanism problem occurs.
&
[CLOCK RESET IN] clock reset input terminal
Connect to a master clock or another SR-9080
’s
[CLOCK RESET OUT] terminal. When the clock reset
signal is input, the time is automatically synchronized
with the master clock or another SR-9080
’s clock.
However, the time difference between VCRs should be
within ±30 seconds.
When the clock reset signal is input, the clock in this unit
is reset as shown below.
• When the seconds value is 29 or less, the minutes
value is the same but the seconds value is reset to 0.
(eg. 12:34:29 —> 12:34:00)
• When the seconds value is 30 or more, the second
value is reset to 00 and the minutes value is increased
by one. (e.g. 12:34:30
—> 12:35:00)
*
[CLOCK RESET OUT] clock reset output terminal
Outputs the clock reset signal.
The clock reset signal is output in the following cases.
• When the internal clock is at 0:00 or 12:00
When this unit is connected to another SR-9080
’s
[CLOCK RESET IN] terminal, the other VCR
’s clock
can be set to the clock in this unit. However, the time
difference should be within ±30 seconds.
(
[SERIES REC IN] series recording/VCR activation
signal input terminal
Receives series recording signal or VCR activation
signal from an external control device.
Select the input signal with the menu switches in the
<SRI/EXT MODE> menu.
5
Series recording input
A series recording signal is input when [SRI/EXT
REC] is set to “SERIES”.
• Connect to another VCR
’s series recording signal
output terminal.
• When the tape in the preceding VCR ends, a signal is
delivered to this terminal and recording starts
automatically.
When the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the
<SRI/EXT MODE> screen is set, the signals are
delivered when the specified tape reel counter value is
reached. Recording starts automatically.
5
VCR activation signal input
When [SRI/EXT REC] is set to
“EXT”, recording is
started and stopped with an external signal.
• Connect to an external control device.
If a VCR activation signal (ground input) is input to
this terminal, the VCR starts recording
automatically and continues recording for as long
as the VCR activation signal is input.
)
[SERIES REC OUT] series recording signal output
terminal
Outputs series recording signals.
A series recording signal is output when [SRI/EXT REC]
is set to “SERIES”.
• Connect to another VCR
’s series recording signal
input terminal.
• Outputs a signal when the tape being recorded in this
unit ends.
When the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the
<SRI/EXT MODE> screen is set, the signals are
output when the specified tape reel counter value is
reached.
