Connection

Operation

The output signal at the TAPE END OUT terminal will be present either at the point when the counter reading is 8H 00M 00S or when VCR No. 1 reaches the end of the tape, whichever is first.

When this signal is received by VCR No. 2, it will start recording.

When the tape end is reached, operation is then carried out according to the “TAPE END MODE” setting in the (GENERAL SET) menu.

NOTES:

œWhen using tapes that are based on the VHS standard, a single tape can be used to record 8H 00M 00S or more based on the counter setting (6H 00M 00S or more when the “TAPE” in (GENERAL SET) menu is set to “T-120”).

œIf “SERIES REC” is set to “N” in the (ALARM/SERIES REC SET) menu, series recording will not be possible.

œThe counter must start from the beginning of tape, or the series recording out will not function properly.

œEven if “OFF” is displayed, series recording will be conducted if there is an input at the SERIES IN terminal.

Loop recording

œConnect the output from the TAPE END OUT terminal of the last VCR to the SERIES IN terminal of the first VCR.

œThe “TAPE END MODE” in (GENERAL SET) menu should be set to “REW” for all units without fail.

œIn loop recording mode, the tape will be re-recorded over. If you need to keep the recorded information, please eject the tape after recording is complete and insert a new tape.
