This section describes how to prevent inadvertent
operations during recording, and how to carry out the
actual recording.
The recording procedure depends on whether or not
the CAMERA connector was selected in the procedure
described in the section "Selecting the input video
signal" (page 4-3).
Preventing inadvertent operations
To prevent an unintended operation from affecting the
unit, during recording normally the operation of all
controls except the STOP and PAUSE buttons is
inhibited.
To prevent even the STOP and PAUSE buttons from
operating, switch the KEY INHI switch to ON after
starting recording.
At the end of recording, return the KEY INHI switch
to OFF, then press the STOP button.
