The SERIES OUT signal will be presence either at the point when the counter reading is 1H57M00S 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.

To prevent this form occuring, the security lock of VCR No. 2 should be set to the on condition.

If TAPE END MODE is set to “REW”, when the end of the tape is reached “OFF” is displayed, the tape is rewound then stops.

NOTES:

œIf the counter reading on VCR No.1 is 1H57M00S or more, when the REC button is pressed (step 3), the recording will start on VCR No.2.

œIf in the (SET UP 3) menu “SERIES REC IN” is set to “N” and in the (SET UP 1) menu “OUTPUT” is set to “NON REC”, series recording will not be possible.

œThe counter must start from the beginning of tape, or the series recording out will not function properly.

œEven if “OFF” is displayed, series recording will be conducted if there is an input at the SERIES IN terminal.
