Chapter 2 Recording and Playback
• The recording pause mode will be automatically released after five
minutes to protect the tape, and the VCR goes into stop mode.
• The foot switch operation works even if the VCR is in any operation
mode. To prevent accidental erasure of a recording, you should slide in
the safety switch on the cassette so that the red portion becomes visible
before you insert the cassette into this VCR.
If you copy a source tape, using the DUP (duplicate) button on this VCR,
you can copy the time code recorded on the source tape as they are. You
can easily make a work tape having the same time codes as the source
tape.
The duplicate function on this VCR works only when using a source tape
recorded in DVCAM format and making DV connections.

Connect this VCR and the other (playback) VCR, using an i.LINK
cable (DV connecting cable) (not supplied) and select DV with the
INPUT SELECT selector on this VCR.

Notes

indicator lights and duplicate starts immediately.
• If the other (playback) VCR is in the playback pause mode, duplicate
starts immediately and this VCR continues to record a still picture
and a certain time code.

Press the play button on the other VCR to start playback.
The DUP indicator lights and duplicate starts.
To adjust the point where duplicate starts
In step 4 above, press and hold the DUP button instead of the N PLAY

standby mode until you press the X PAUSE button again.
After the other VCR starts playback, press the X PAUSE button at the
point where you want to start duplicate.
