WARNING: DANGEROUS VOLTAGE INSIDE WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

CAUTION

䡲 When you are not using the recorder for a long period of time, it is recommended that you disconnect the

power cord from the mains outlet.

䡲 Dangerous voltage inside. Refer internal servicing to qualified service personnel. To prevent electric shock or

fire hazard, remove the power cord from the mains outlet prior to connecting or disconnecting any signal lead or aerial.

WARNING

There are two different types of SECAM colour systems: SECAM-L, used in FRANCE (also called SECAM-West), and SECAM-B, used in Eastern European countries (also called SECAM-East).

1. This recorder can also receive SECAM-B colour television signals for recording and playback.

2. Recordings made of SECAM-B television signals produce monochrome pictures if played back on a video recorder of SECAM-L standard, or do not produce normal colour pictures if played back on a PAL video recorder with SECAM-B system incorporated (even if the TV set is SECAM-compatible).

3. SECAM-L prerecorded cassettes or recordings made with a SECAM-L video recorder produce monochrome pictures when played back with this recorder.

4. This recorder cannot be used for the SECAM-L standard. Use a SECAM-L recorder to record SECAM-L signals.

IMPORTANT

䡲 Please read the various precautions on page 2 and 3 before installing or operating the recorder. 䡲 It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent

of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.

625

䡲 Cassettes marked "S-VHS" and "VHS" can be used with this video cassette recorder. However, S-VHS recordings are possible only

with cassettes marked "S-VHS". By using the S-VHS ET function, it is possible to record and play back with S-VHS picture quality on VHS cassettes with this

recorder.

䡲 Cassettes marked "Mini DV" can be used with the DV deck of this recorder. The DV deck can play back and record only PAL

" shows electrical power standby and " " shows ON.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Moisture in the air will condense on the recorder when you move it from a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid conditions—just as water droplets form in the surface of a glass filled with cold liquid. Moisture condensation on the head drum will cause damage to the tape. In conditions where condensation may occur, keep the recorder turned on for a few hours to let the moisture dry.

NOTE:

The fan on the rear panel may run although the recorder is turned off in the following cases, for example:

— in timer standby mode, several hours before the VPS/PDC recording starts. — if you connect a decoder or satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and “L-2 SELECT” is set to

“DECODER” or “SAT”.

— if “JUST CLOCK” is set to “ON”.

When neither auto channel set nor auto clock set has been completed successfully, "– –:– –" will be displayed.

IMPORTANT

䡲 In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may not

work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using the SHOWVIEW system, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using the SHOWVIEW system, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your recorder receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected (墌 pg. 34, "SHOWVIEW Timer Programming").

䡲 Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality

may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture 墌 "Delete A Channel" on page 71.

NOTES:

The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.

A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from "0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.

In the following circumstances, you should play the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:

● When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.

● When you have made a recording on a tape, then played that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to continue

recording.

● When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.

DURING B.E.S.T.

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

● The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

●

The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP (or EP) modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

●

In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

●

Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is reperformed.

●

Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 28).

Playback

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

START PLAYBACK

Press PLAY.

● The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

● B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. "BEST" appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.

NOTES:

●

When watching a tape recorded with "B.E.S.T." set to "ON", it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

●

When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1 through 5 on page 32.

●

"BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

1) Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the

RECORD PAUSE mode.

●

The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, reenters RECORD PAUSE.

2) Press PLAY to start recording.

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your video recorder and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your recorder will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

●

When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

●

VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to AV2 (L-2) IN/ DECODER on your recorder.

NOTES:

●

If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SP→LP TIMER" to "ON". In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

●

In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape.

●

There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode.

●

The Auto SP→LP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes of shorter lengths.

●

If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SP→LP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety.

Advantages Of S-VHS Video Recorders

You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, S-VHS to VHS, or, from S-VHS to S-VHS.

● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently limited by that of the original, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the source material is very high, the edited tape has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.

● From S-VHS to S-VHS: All signals will be transferred with minimum degradation.

NOTES:

●

When you select "EDIT", "SOFT" or "SHARP", the selected mode will not change until you select again.

●

When you select "EDIT" to dub tapes, be sure to select "AUTO" after you finish dubbing the tapes.
