Series recording may have a short pause (5 seconds) when going from recorder A to recorder B. However, if you set the CALL OUT of the “REAR TERMINAL” menu to “WRNG•REMAIN”, this delay is eliminated.

When set in the above configuration and the second VCR reaches the end of the tape, the first VCR automatically begins recording. Do not connect [*1], if you do not require the first VCR to begin recording again.

If an abnormality occurs (e.g., a malfunction occurs in the motor during recording) in the first VCR, the second VCR automatically begins recording.

Series recording will not function during timer recording.

When carrying out series recording, set “CALL OUT” in the “REAR TERMINAL” menu to a mode other than “WRNG”.
