The Synchro Rec function does not work when “Line3 Input” of Video Setup is set to “Decoder” (page 90).

The Synchro Rec function does not work with some tuners. For details, see the tuner’s operating instructions.

While the recorder is standing by for Synchro- Recording, the Auto Clock Set function (page 87) does not work.

To use the Synchro Rec function, you must first set the recorder’s clock correctly.
