1 The first recorder starts recording.
2 When the first recorder finishes recording, the
second recorder starts recording.
3 The third and subsequent connected by cabling to
their RELAY IN REC terminals start recording in
sequence as soon as the preceding recorders in the
chain finish recording.
If the display is set to show the remaining disc time
(see page 16) during relay recording, a relay control
signal is issued when the remaining recording time is
reduced to about 6 seconds, thereby making
overlapped recording possible on the first and second
recorders.
When a recorder starts recording on receiving a control
signal from the RELAY IN REC terminal, its display is
automatically set to show the remaining disc time.
Note
This recorder starts recording when it receives a relay
control signal only when:
It is loaded with a recordable MD.
If digital input signal has been selected, digital audio
signal output from the source is available.
It is stopped.
The Edit Menu or Setup Menu is not open.
Relay recording always takes place in NewTrackRec
mode.
Relay recording while clearing prerecorded discs is not
available with this recorder.
Parallel I/O
— D-sub 9 pins (female)
The parallel I/O pins permit remote control with
simple external circuits connected. The input pins,
when connected to GND, implement the functions
assigned to them. The output terminals are open
collector outputs, which can be used to turn on LEDs to
provide recorder status indications.
