RT-195 IR Remote Control

The RT-195 is programmed with the VCR’s IR Remote Control. The
IR remote still maintains its normal functions, but when the On­screen programming mode is entered, several buttons take on
alternate roles.

1 STOP: Press and hold the STOP button for approximately 5
seconds to access the main programming menu of the RT-195.

2 PAUSE/STILL: The PAUSE/STILL (P/S) button is used in conjunc­tion with the arrow to access the sub menus of most menu items.
In some menus, pressing the P/S button advances the active
programming position to the next position to the right. If you

hold the PAUSE/STILL button down for 5 seconds program­ming will be reset to factory defaults.

3 (-) & (+): These buttons serve 2 functions. In the main menu.

They control the arrow cursor position. The (-) moves the arrow
down and (+) moves the arrow up. Once a sub menu is entered,
these buttons are used to toggle between selections or incre­ment/decrement a selection.

RT-195 Connections

The RT-195 requires the use of composite video. To see the on­screen programming menu, you must have a video camera in
and a monitor connected.

The audio and video jacks are standard RCA type jacks. You will
need to use RCA to BNC adapters when using standard CCTV
cameras with BNC connectors.

The Alarm Input is a contact closure to ground. The alarm pulse
must be at least 200mS to trigger the VCR.
