Checking the Function Settings

Check that the settings of the functions which control the 26-pin interface are set to BOTH or ON at the FUNCTION 3/5 page of the setting menu. See “Selecting Functions” for a description of the various function settings.

Starting Recording

1 Operate the external VTR and set it to recording paused status.

2 Press the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The internal and external VTRs start recording simultaneously. Pressing the button again sets both VTRs to the recording paused status.

If One VTR Comes to the End of its Tape During Recording

Even if one VTR comes to the end of its tape and stops, the other VTR continues recording op- eration.

Returning the VTRs to simultaneous recording status

ÁIf the internal VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and press the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR continues recording operation during this time.

ÁIf the external VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and operate the external VTR to restart recording. The internal VTR continues recording operation during this time.

Note{

Care should be taken as the internal VTR will assume recording paused status if the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens is pressed after replacing the external VTR’s cassette.
