Recording Simultaneously with the Internal VTR and an ExternalVTR

Connections

Mount the AJ-YA900P 26-pin/12-pin output adaptor (option) to the unit, connect the external VTR
with the 26-pin cable, and set the audio input level selector switch of the external VTR to
“p60 dB”.
SW201 on the CAM ENC and SW1 (26PIN) on the CAM SYNC Printed Circuit Board of the unit
must be set to ON side. (See page 104.)

Checking the Function Settings

Check that the function to control the 26-pin interface has been set to “BOTH” or “ON” on the “VTR
FUNCTION” SUB menu page of the MAIN menu screen 2 of 4. See “Selecting Functions” for a
description of the various function settings.

Starting Recording

1Operate the external VTR and set it to recording paused status.
2Press 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 oper-
ation.
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.
