SYNCHRONIZATION CONTROL
When two or more of this model of VCR are connected
together, the VCRs can be operated simultaneously just
by operating the VCR that has been set to “MASTER”,
without using a system controller (sold separately).
There are two modes available: operator mode and
administrator/installer mode. The operations that can be
carried out in each mode are different.
NOTES:
œ
The operation and setting can only be carried out with
the button of this unit.
œ
Use cables with a thickness of A.W.G.24 (0.2 mm
2
) or
more and a length no more than 1.5 m to connect
VCRs.
œ
It is recommended that you do not connect any more
than 10 VCRs together.
œ
Only one VCR can be specified at the master unit.
œ
Do not mix operator mode and administrator/installer
mode in the same installation.
œ
Do not connect the VCRs in a loop.
œ
“TERMINAL SET” in the (OTHERS) menu should
always be set to “SET1”.
œ
The VCR operation may not be completely
synchronized depending on the VCR statuses, the
operating environment and the operation timing. It is
recommended that you check the operating statuses
and menus after carrying out each operation.
