6-6 Series Recording

The series recording function facilitates recording over much longer periods using several connected SR-9090Us.

As soon as the tape ends in one VCR, the next VCR in the series starts recording. Using the counter end output function

enables smoother switchovers during series recording, mostly eliminating interruptions between tapes.

6 RECORDING

5Connect the first VCR’s [SERIES REC OUT] terminal to the

second VCR’s [SERIES REC IN] terminal. Connect the

second VCR’s [SERIES REC OUT] terminal to the third

VCR’s [SERIES REC IN] terminal. Repeat for all connected

VCRs. Connect the VCR’s [COM] terminals as well.

5Connect a video camera and/or other source equipment to the

first VCR’s video and audio input connectors.

Connect the first VCR’s video and audio output connectors to

the second VCR’s video and audio input connectors. Connect

the second VCR’s video and audio output connectors to the

third VCR’s video and audio input connectors.

Repeat for all connected VCRs.

Connect the last VCR’s video and audio output connectors to

the monitor’s video and audio input connectors.

5Normally the next VCR starts recording when the tape

ends. If the menu switch counter end output function is

on, a series recording signal is output when the selected

tape reel counter value is passed, and the next VCR starts

recording. Select the counter end value from “500”,

“1000” ... “9500” with the <CNT TAPE END> menu switch.

•The tape reel counter value from the beginning of the

tape to the end is about 5800 on a T-120 cassette tape.

(Reter to page 64.)

2Press the [MENU] button to restore the normal screen.
3Load cassettes with safety tab in place in all connected

VCRs.

5 To use the counter end output function, set the

counter to the tape reel counter display with the

[DISPLAY] button.

When a cassette is loaded, the counter is reset to

“0000”.

4Start recording on the first VCR.
