6 RECORDING
Non-stop continuous series recording
The series recording function allows you to record indefinitely using two VCRs. Recording alternates between each VCR.
To use this function, connect and set the VCRs as follows.
5 Setting
Set the <SRI/EXT REC> menu switch on both
units to SERIES.
Set the <AUTO REW> menu switch in <VTR
MODE> to ON.
Set the <AUTO REC CHECK> and <REPEAT
REC> menu switch in <VTR MODE> to OFF.
5 For uninterrupted endless series recording, use the
counter end output function together. Set <CNT
TAPE END> so that the counter end signal is
output just before the tape end.
Set <CNT TAPE END> in the <SRI/EXT MODE>
menu to 5500 (when a T-120 tape is used).
* When the tape is rewound to the beginning in
the Auto Rewind mode using the counter end
output function, the tape reel counter is reset
automatically to 0000.
Note:
Continuous series recording over a long period
may produce excessive wear and tear on the
tapes and VCRs. Be sure to replace the tapes
periodically (refer to page 28).
