NOTES:

•Series recording may have a short pause (up to five seconds) when going from recorder A to recorder B. However, if you set CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal menu to WRNG•REMAIN, this delay is eliminated.

•When set in the above configu- ration and the second VCR reaches the end of the tape, the first VCR automatically begins recording. Connect the line marked by [*1] in Figure 19 only if you want the first VCR to be- gin recording again. If not, do not connect it.

•If a problem occurs (for example, the motor malfunctions during re- cording) in the first VCR, the sec- ond VCR automatically begins recording.

•Series recording will not work during timer recording.

•When recording in series, set CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal menu to a mode other than WRNG.
