The output signal at the TAPE END OUT terminal will be

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 2:00:00
or more based on the counter setting.
œ
If “SERIES REC” is set to “N” in the (ALARM/SERIES
REC SET) menu, series recording will not be possible.
œ
The counter must start from the beginning of tape.
œ
Even if “OFF” is displayed, series recording will be
conducted if there is an input at the SERIES IN
terminal.
Loop recording
œ
Connect the output from the TAPE END OUT terminal
of the last VCR to the SERIES IN terminal of the first
VCR.
œ
The “TAPE END MODE” in (GENERAL SET) menu
should be set to “REW” for all units without fail.
œ
In loop recording mode, the tape will be re-recorded
over. If you need to keep the recorded information,
please eject the tape after recording is complete and
insert a new tape.
