The output signal at the TAPE END OUT terminal will be
present either at the point when the counter reading is
8H 00M 00S or when VCR No. 1 reaches the end of the
tape, whichever is first.
When this signal is received by VCR No. 2, it will start
recording.
When the tape end is reached, operation is then carried
out according to the "TAPE END MODE" setting in the
(GENERAL SET) menu.
NOTES:
œ When using tapes that are based on the VHS
standard, a single tape can be used to record 8H 00M
00S or more based on the counter setting (6H 00M
00S or more when the "TAPE" in (GENERAL SET)
menu is set to "E-180").
œ If "SERIES REC" is set to "N" in the (ALARM/SERIES

of the last VCR to the SERIES IN terminal of the first
