SYNCHRONIZATION CONTROL
When two or more VCRs 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 e 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.
