When the [F8] (REMOTE 9-PIN) button is set to on

You can operate the VTR with a device connected to the REMOTE1-IN(9P)/OUT(9P) connectors.

When the [F9] (REMOTE 50-PIN) button is set to on

You can operate the VTR with a device (optional BKDW-509) connected to the PARALLEL I/O(50P) connector.

Note

When operating the VTR through an external device, all of the tape operation and editing buttons are disabled, with the exception of the STOP and EJECT buttons. You may also set the VTR so that all buttons are enabled or disabled. Perform this setting through
