2 CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS

2-3 Rear Panel

^[TAPE END OUT] tape end signal output terminal Outputs a signal when the tape ends during recording. If the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the <SRI/EXT MODE> screen is set, signals are output when the specified tape reel counter value is exceeded.

Outputs a +12 V signal during recording. When the tape ends or the specified counter value is passed, a 0 V (GND level) signal is output.

When the tape ends during auto repeat recording or auto rewind recording, 0 V signal is output for about 2 seconds.

Connect an external alarm or buzzer via an external interface.

To cancel the output, press the [EJECT] button, [PLAY] button, [FF] button or [REW] button.

&[COM] common ground terminal

Connect to the signal ground terminal of a connected unit.

*[WARNING OUT] warning signal output terminal Outputs warning signals (+12 V) when a tape running or mechanism problem occurs.

([CLOCK RESET IN] clock reset input terminal Connect to a master clock or another AG-TL950P’s [CLOCK RESET OUT] terminal. When the clock reset signal is input, the time is automatically synchronized with the master clock or another AG-TL950P’s clock. However, the time difference between VCRs should be within ±30 seconds.

When the clock reset signal is input, the clock in this unit is reset as shown below.

When the seconds value is 29 or less, the minutes value is the same but the seconds value is reset to 0. (eg. 12:34:29 — > 12:34:00)

When the seconds value is 30 or more, the second value is reset to 00 and the minutes value is increased by one. (e.g. 12:34:30 — > 12:35:00)

)[CLOCK RESET OUT] clock reset output terminal Outputs the clock reset signal.

The clock reset signal is output in the following cases.

When the internal clock is at 0:00 or 12:00

When this unit is connected to another AG-TL950P’s [CLOCK RESET IN] terminal, the other VCR’s clock can be set to the clock in this unit. However, the time difference should be within ±30 seconds.

q[SERIES REC IN] series recording/VCR activation signal input terminal

Receives series recording signal or VCR activation signal from an external control device.

Select the input signal with the menu switches in the <SRI/EXT MODE> menu.

5 Series recording input

A series recording signal is input when [SRI/EXT REC] is set to “SERIES”.

Connect to another VCR’s series recording signal output terminal.

When the tape in the preceding VCR ends, a signal is delivered to this terminal and recording starts automatically.

When the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the <SRI/EXT MODE> screen is set, the signals are delivered when the specified tape reel counter

value is reached. Recording starts automatically.

5VCR activation signal input

When [SRI/EXT REC] is set to “EXT”, recording is started and stopped with an external signal.

Connect to an external control device.

If a VCR activation signal (ground input) is input to this terminal, the VCR starts recording automatically and continues recording for as long as the VCR activation signal is input.

w[SERIES REC OUT] series recording signal output terminal

Outputs series recording signals.

A series recording signal is output when [SRI/EXT REC] is set to “SERIES”.

Connect to another VCR’s series recording signal input terminal.

Outputs a signal when the tape being recorded in this unit ends.

When the menu switch <CNT TAPE END> on the <SRI/EXT MODE> screen is set, the signals are output when the specified tape reel counter value is reached.
