NOTES:

Series recording may have a short pause (up to five seconds) when going from recorder A to recorder B. However, if you set CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal menu to WRNG•REMAIN, this delay is eliminated.

When set in the above configu- ration and the second VCR reaches the end of the tape, the first VCR automatically begins recording. Connect the line marked by [*1] in Figure 19 only if you want the first VCR to be- gin recording again. If not, do not connect it.

If a problem occurs (for example, the motor malfunctions during re- cording) in the first VCR, the sec- ond VCR automatically begins recording.

Series recording will not work during timer recording.

When recording in series, set CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal menu to a mode other than WRNG.

8.1.4.2 Recommended Number Of Tape Uses

Video tape wears during use. Use a new cassette according to Table E. (T-160 tape in lengthy time-lapse recording can stretch, resulting in poor playback or no play- back.)
