Function) (When Using an MSDW-903

By installing the optional MSDW-903 extension board (not supplied) in
the camcorder, the camcorder is able to constantly store a few seconds
(up to 8 seconds) worth of the most current picture and sound data in the
board's memory.
Thus, when you press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the
lens, the recording starts with the data stored a few seconds before.

Loop Rec time
The Loop Rec time and VTR SAVE/STBY switch settings determine the
number of seconds of picture data that will be stored in the MSDW-
903's memory and recorded when you press the VTR START button or
VTR button on the lens.
