Additional Information

1The first recorder starts recording.

2When the first recorder finishes recording, the second recorder starts recording.

3The third and subsequent connected by cabling to their RELAY IN REC terminals start recording in sequence as soon as the preceding recorders in the chain finish recording.

If the display is set to show the remaining disc time (see page 16) during relay recording, a relay control signal is issued when the remaining recording time is reduced to about 6 seconds, thereby making overlapped recording possible on the first and second recorders.

When a recorder starts recording on receiving a control signal from the RELAY IN REC terminal, its display is automatically set to show the remaining disc time.

Note

This recorder starts recording when it receives a relay control signal only when:

•It is loaded with a recordable MD.

•If digital input signal has been selected, digital audio signal output from the source is available.

•It is stopped.

•The Edit Menu or Setup Menu is not open.

Relay recording always takes place in NewTrackRec mode.

Relay recording while clearing prerecorded discs is not available with this recorder.

Parallel I/O

— D-sub 9 pins (female)

The parallel I/O pins permit remote control with simple external circuits connected. The input pins, when connected to GND, implement the functions assigned to them. The output terminals are open collector outputs, which can be used to turn on LEDs to provide recorder status indications.
