CHAPTER 6 - RECORD FEATURES 29

Sequential & Loop Record

Two decks give you twice the recording features of a normal
VCR. Sequential Record allows you to insert tapes in both
decks and record one after another. Loop Record allows you
to record both tapes in a continuous loop.
To activate Sequential or Loop Record:

appears.
3Press “5” repeatedly to set RECORD MODE to:
Norm - Tapes record normally.
Seq - (Sequential) Deck 1 records over the entire tape, then
Deck 2 records over the entire tape. If Auto Rewind is
set to on, both tapes will rewind automatically when
recording is finished.
Loop - Deck 1 records to the end of the tape, then Deck 2
begins recording. While Deck 2 is recording, Deck 1
automatically rewinds to the beginning. When
recording is finished in Deck 2, Deck 1 records again
and the process repeats in a continuous loop until
you press the
STOP
key. Rewinding is automatic
regardless of the Auto Rewind setting.
