1Set the function menu switch <TERMINAL SEL 1> to
“EXT” to use the external recording function.
2Press the MENU button to switch the on-screen display

the Stop mode, the Pause mode or turn the operating
mode off.
When a VCR activation signal (ground input) is input to
the rear panel’s [SERIES/CLOCK IN] terminal,
recording starts automatically and continues for as
long as the activation signal is input.
When the activation signal stops, the Stop mode is
engaged.
When the activation signal is input again, recording
starts.
When the [TIMER] indication is lit or the function is lit
or the function menu switch [TAPE END MODE] on
the VTR mode 1 setting screen is set to “REPEAT”,
this function is disabled.
If a VCR activation signal is input while the unit is
already recording (started with the [REC] button),
recording continues and stops when the activation
signal is no longer input.
The mechanism of the SR-L910UA cannot be
guaranteed if the Recording with External VCR
Activation Signal function is used frequently (100 times
/day or more).
During playback, there may be some noise or picture
distortion at the point where one recording with external
VCR activation signal stops and another starts. This is
not a malfunction.
