If in the (SET UP 2) menu “SERIES REC IN” is set to “N” or “OUTPUT” is set to “NON REC”, series recording will not be possible.
The SERIES OUT signal will be presence either at the point when the counter reading is 7:57:00 or when VCR No. 1 reaches the end of the tape, whichever is first. The signal will stop 70 seconds after the tape end point of VCR No. 1.
When this signal is received by VCR No. 2, it will start recording. During the period when the SERIES OUT signal is being received by VCR No. 2, if the STOP button of VCR No. 2 is accidentally pressed, VCR No. 2 will go into the stop mode for an instant and then return to the record mode.
