6 Set Deck 1 in the master deck to the Record mode to start recording.

When Deck 1 reaches the ABS time of Deck 1 set with "Seqtime", Deck 2 starts recording.

When Deck 2 reaches the ABS time of Deck 2 of the master deck, Deck 1 in the second deck receives the command from the EXT CONTROL IN connector and starts recording. This process continues from deck to deck, enabling continuous recording.

7 To stop recording, press the STOP key on the deck which is currently recording.

ÉAfter recording, each deck automatically rewinds the tape to the beginning either 3 minutes after the time set with "Seqtime" or when the tape end is reached.

Example:

First deck settings (master )

Seqtime: 2H00M00S

∗SLAVE

∗SLAVE

WR-7000

Second deck settings (slave) Seqtime: 2H00M00S

Third deck settings (slave) Seqtime: 2H00M00S

With these settings, the recording operation is as follows.

(1)	When the ABS time of the first deck's Deck 1 reaches
	2H00M00S, Deck 2 of the first deck starts recording.
(2)	When the ABS time of the first deck's Deck 2 reaches
