1-1 Major Features

1 INTRODUCTION

Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours : U model

Recording times are selectable from 2 hours (SP mode), 6 hours (EP mode) and L12/L18/L24/24/48/72/120/168/ 240/480/960 (Timelapse mode) (when T-120 tape is used). In the L12, L18 and L24 Timelapse modes, sound is recorded as well.

Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours : E model

Recording times are selectable from 3 hours (SP mode) and L12/L24/48/72/120/168/240/480/960 (Timelapse mode) (when E-180 tape is used). In the L12 and L24 Timelapse modes, sound is recorded as well. * Recording and playback are not possible in the Long

Play (LP) mode.

5 High-resolution recording Delivers horizontal resolution of more than 300 lines

even in color mode. *When a tape recorded on this unit is played back on

another VCR, noise may appear on playback picture.

High-density recording (HDR) function : U model only

Using the EP head, the tape is advanced at a fine pitch

for timelapse recording. In this way, about three times more information is recorded in the same period than in conventional timelapse modes. While this results in some degradation of picture quality, the increased coverage allows you to analyze the development of a situation in greater detail. The actual recording duration on the tape is the same as that of an ordinary timelapse recording (select with menu switch <HDR RECORDING>).

5 Alarm recording function

When an alarm signal is input in the Record mode, the 2/6-hour mode is automatically engaged. Alarm recording time can be selected from 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 180 sec., to tape end, or set manually. An index code is automatically recorded at the start point of the alarm recording for use as an alarm cue signal. Alarm recording points can be accessed quickly with the alarm search function.

5 Sensor recording

Whenever an alarm signal is input in the Stop mode

(Stop, Timer Recording Standby or Operating Off mode), the Record mode is automatically engaged.

5 Time/date generator

Superimposes date, month, year, hour, minute and second on the image during recording. Also allows you to display the number of alarms, alarm time, and the number of the power failures on a monitor.

5 Timer-recording function

Up to 8 programs can be set for daily, weekly, or weekday timer-recording. You can also set timer recording for up to 16 days a year by specifying the date (holidays, for example).

5 Tape position search function You can automatically search the start of an alarm

recording or search for a recording made at a specified date and time.

5 Recording check function

Recording conditions (quality) can be checked at any time during recording by pressing the recording check button.

5 Operation lock system

The secret operation lock system prevents an accidental or deliberate interference with VCR operation.

5 Camera switching signal output terminal 5 Warning function

Error indications are shown on the front panel display. Error warnings include condensation and problems with cassette loading, cassette unloading, or the rotating system operation mode.

5 Operating mode-off video throughout function

Even when the operating mode is off, the camera

’s EE

input can be output from the VCR.

5 Series recording function

Two or more SR-9080U can be connected for extended, long-term series recording. As the tape in each VCR reaches the end, the next unit in the series will automatically start recording.

5 Automatic re-start of recording after a power failure 5 Time adjust function

With the IN/OUT terminal for time adjustment, the time difference can be set to

“0” with multiple SR-

9080s

connected. (adjustment time: 00:00/12:00)

5 Digital hour meter display 5 Repeat playback/recording 5 Alarm recording, tape end and warning electronic

buzzer

5 Recording control with external activation signal 5 Counter end function 5 External timer connection 5 Summer time compensation function 5 Wired remote control (optional)

Used when an optional SA-K97U RS-232C interface board is installed.

5 RS-232C control

The SR-9080 can be controlled via a personal computer. Operation status can be monitored on the computer.

This VCR incorporates precision mechanical parts which will collect dirt over time and ultimately deteriorate and wear out. Over long periods of use, dirt and dust accumulates on the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms. Dust which penetrates the VCR (especially during outdoor use) also promotes the wear and deterioration of mechanical parts by causing poor contact between tape and heads. This also prevents the VCR from maintaining video and audio quality at high levels. To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the heads regularly using a head cleaning tape. However, because a head cleaning tape alone cannot clean the entire tape transport mechanism, this should also be inspected periodically to prevent any problems that could result from a sudden failure.

As replacement and adjustment of parts require advanced skills and specialized equipment, please contact the person in charge of professional video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service agent for servicing.

1-2 Periodical Maintenance

Monitoring Usage Time

The total operation time reached by an ordinary home VCR in 5 or 6 years may be reached by a professional VCR in as few as 5 or 6 months. Therefore, it is important that the total hours of operation be carefully monitored. An hour meter in the on-screen display (see page 20) shows the accumulated time. In the chart below, the hours accumulated in each month are shown in relation to the number of hours used per day. Times shown in the shaded area indicate that maintenance should be performed.

1-3 Precautions

5 Condensation

When cold beer is poured into a glass, water drops appear on the glass

’s surface. This phenomenon is called “condensation”. When condensation occurs on the VCR’s head drum and tape guides it may damage the tape.

5 Condensation occurs in the

following cases.

• When the VCR is moved from a

cold place to a warm place.

• In a room that has just been heated

or in an area directly exposed to a cooler.

• When there is excessive humidity.

Condensation

5 When condensation is expected to occur

Turn the power of the VCR on before use.

5 If condensation has occurred

The VCR automatically ejects the cassette and the error indication “E-08” blinks on the display. Operation is disabled until the

“E-08” indication on the display goes out.

Periodic Maintenance

Check or replace the following mechanical parts according to the running time.
