Mount the AJ-YA900P or AJ-YA700P 26-pin output adaptor (option) to the unit, connect the ex-
ternal VTR with the 26-pin cable, and set the audio input level selector switch of the external
VTR to “
p 60 dB”.
SW3101 and SW3102 on the CAM ENC Printed Circuit Board of the unit must be set to the 26P
side. (See page 90.)
Checking the Function Settings
Check that the settings of the functions which control the 26-pin interface are set to BOTH or
ON at the FUNCTION 3/5 page of the setting menu. See “Selecting Functions” for a description
of the various function settings.
Starting Recording
1
Operate the external VTR and set it to recording paused status.
2
Press the VTR START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The internal and
external VTRs start recording simultaneously. Pressing the button again sets both VTRs to
the recording paused status.
If One VTR Comes to the End of its Tape During Recording
Even if one VTR comes to the end of its tape and stops, the other VTR continues recording op-
eration.
Returning the VTRs to simultaneous recording status
Á If the internal VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and press the VTR START
button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens. The external VTR continues recording opera-
tion during this time.
Á If the external VTR came to the end of its tape, replace the cassette and operate the external
VTR to restart recording. The internal VTR continues recording operation during this time.
| Note {
Care should be taken as the internal VTR will assume recording paused status if the VTR
START button of the unit or the VTR button of the lens is pressed after replacing the external
VTR’s cassette.
