RECORDING – Backup recording function –

By linking this unit to other DV devices, this unit can perform continuous, long-hour recording. This unit can be set as a backup unit connected to a DV camcorder (GY-DV300/DV500/DV550/ DV5000, etc.). When the recording tape of the source unit ends, this unit can start recording. This enables long-hour recording.
