The SERIES OUT signal will be presence either at the
point when the counter reading is 1
VCR No. 1 reaches the end of the tape, whichever is first.
The signal will stop 70 seconds after the tape end point of
VCR No. 1.
When this signal is received by VCR No. 2, it will start
recording. During the period when the SERIES OUT
signal is being received by VCR No. 2, if the STOP button
of VCR No. 2 is accidentally pressed, VCR No. 2 will go
into the stop mode for an instant and then return to the
record mode.
To prevent this form occuring, the security lock of VCR

If TAPE END MODE is set to "REW", when the end of the
tape is reached "OFF" is displayed, the tape is rewound
then stops.

more, when the REC button is pressed (step 3), the
recording will start on VCR No.2.
œ If in the (SET UP 3) menu "SERIES REC IN" is set to
"N" and in the (SET UP 1) menu "OUTPUT" is set to
"NON REC", series recording will not be possible.
œ The counter must start from the beginning of tape, or
the series recording out will not function properly.
œ Even if "OFF" is displayed, series recording will be
conducted if there is an input at the SERIES IN
terminal.
