* 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”.

produce excessive wear and tear on the tapes and
VCRs. Be sure to replace the tapes periodically
(refer to page 28).
• If the <AUTO REW> menu switch in <VTR MODE> is
set to “OFF”, the Stop mode is engaged when the end
of the tape is reached during recording. If <AUTO
REW> is set to “ON”, the tape rewinds to the
beginning and stops.

signaling the next VCR to start recording.
The first VCR continues recording until the tape ends.

forcibly engaged when the tape ends even if there is
an alarm or sensor recording.
To continue repeat recording even if an alarm
recording or sensor recording takes place during
recording, set <TAPE END MODE> to “OFF”.
When the Tape End Forced Stop mode and Repeat
Rec mode are engaged and an alarm or sensor
recording takes place, the [REPEAT] indication goes
out.

Automatic recording check function
This unit is provided with an automatic recording check
function which automatically determines whether or not
recording is satisfactory at the tape beginning in repeat
recording.
• To activate the automatic recording check function, set
the <AUTO REC CHECK> menu switch in <VTR
MODE> to “ON”.
5
Operation of the automatic recording check
function
• Recording is performed from the beginning of the tape
for several seconds during repeat recording. Then the
recorded section is automatically played back to check
whether or not the signals have been recorded
properly. If the recording is satisfactory, recording
resumes.
• If the recording is unsatisfactory, the heads are cleaned
automatically. Recording is restarted for several
seconds and then the recording is checked again. If
the recording is still unsatisfactory, the error code “E-
09” is shown on the display and recording resumes.
