NOTES:
• Series recording may have a
short pause (up to five seconds)
when going from recorder A to
recorder B. However, if you set
CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal
menu to WRNG•REMAIN, this
delay is eliminated.
• When set in the above configu-
ration and the second VCR
reaches the end of the tape, the
first VCR automatically begins
recording. Connect the line
marked by [*1] in Figure 19 only
if you want the first VCR to be-
gin recording again. If not, do not
connect it.
• If a problem occurs (for example,
the motor malfunctions during re-
cording) in the first VCR, the sec-
ond VCR automatically begins
recording.
• Series recording will not work
during timer recording.
• When recording in series, set
CALL OUT in the Rear Terminal
menu to a mode other than
WRNG.
