Chapter 5 Special Editing and Recording/Playback
When you combine two DSR-70/70P units, you can
perform sequential recording from one unit to another.
(In the following explanation of two-unit sequential
recording, the controlling unit is referred to as the
recorder and the controlled unit as the player.)
For overwriting recording using only two cassettes, the
last 6 hours of recording is always available.
By replacing the cassette approximately every 3 hours,
indefinite continuous recording is possible.
Sequential recording using two DSR-70/70P units can
be performed in the following two ways.
• Inputting external video and audio signals to both the
player and recorder.
• Inputting external video and audio signals to the
player and inputting the video and audio signals
output from the player to the recorder.

In either case, you can use the same operating
procedure, but there are some differences in
equipment/signal connections and basic settings
between the two cases.
