ever, if you set CALL OUT in
the Rear Terminal menu to
WRNG•REMAIN, this delay is
eliminated.

line marked by [*1] in Figure
19 only if you want the first
VCR to begin recording again.
If not, do not connect it.
• If a problem occurs (for ex-
ample, the motor malfunc-
tions during recording) in the
first VCR, the second VCR
automatically begins record-
ing.
• Series recording will not work
during timer recording.
• When recording in series, set
CALL OUT in the Rear Ter-
minal menu to a mode other
than WRNG.
