CONDENSATION IS THE ENEMY OF VIDEO RECORDERS
2 WHAT IS CONDENSATION?
1. When a very cold drink is poured into a glass, the water droplets which form on the outer surface of the glass are an example of
condensation.
2. If the VCR is exposed to a rapid increase in temperature (such as warming a cold room or after transporting it from a cold location
to a warm one) condensation may form on the tape transport mechanism inside the VCR. To prevent damage to the VCR or tapes,
plug the VCR into the mains outlet and turn the power on for about 2 hours. Do not use the VCR for playback or record during this
time.
2 CONDENSATION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN:
1. The VCR is moved inside from outdoors, or from a cold room to a warm one.
2. A cold room is heated quickly.
3. Humidity is high.
N
• Avoid using the VCR where cold air (e.g., from an air conditioner) will blow directly on it.
• Never place anything containing water on top of the VCR, e.g., vases, cups, etc.
HEAVY OBJECTS SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED ON THE VCR (E.G., TV)
For HS-7168E(B) and HS-7168EM(B)
2 MAINS LEAD CONNECTION
The mains lead on this VCR is fitted with a non-rewireable
mains plug, incorporating a 5A fuse. If you need to replace
the fuse, use a 5A fuse approved by BSI or ASTA to BS 1362,
ensuring you refit the fuse cover. If the mains plug is not
suitable for the sockets in your home, and you require to
remove the plug, remove the fuse, cut off the plug then dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible electric
shock hazard. To refit a new plug, follow these instructions;
Green-and-yellow: Earth,
Blue: Neutral,
Brown: Live
As the colours in the mains lead of this VCR may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol » or coloured green
or green-and-yellow.
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
CAUTION AND CARE
UNPLUGGING THE MAINS LEAD
Whenever unplugging the mains leads, be sure to s witch off the
mains outlet first. Then unplug the lead b y gripping the plug (not

This VCR has a high quality circuit, which makes it possible to
attain more than 330 lines in B/W mode, and more than 240 lines
in colour mode(SP mode).
High density recording - H•D<LP>
High Density recording records 2x more fields than Normal Density
(SP). It reduces the time interval between pictures , providing more
pictures for smoother time lapse recording.
Tape remaining indicator
A bar indicator shows how much tape is left and/or that the tape
has approximately three minutes (in 3H mode) left.
Automatic head cleaning
For continuous smooth operation, the VCR automatically removes
foreign matter from the heads when a cassette is inserted.
Easy setting using a monitor

4 RECORDING MODE (REC MODE)
Sets the recording mode.
NORMAL<SP> : Choose when higher picture quality is preferred. With this setting, the recording time mode is s witched in the order of
3H } L24H } 48H } 72H } 96H } 120H } 168H } 0H } 3H ...
H•D<LP> : Select a LP setting to perform High Density recording. This provides 2x more fields than Normal Density(SP). It
reduces the time interval between pictures, providing more pictures for smoother time lapse recording. With this
setting, the recording time mode is switched in the order of 6H } L18H } 48H } 72H } 96H } 120H } 168H }
0H } 6H ...
5 SETTING THE NUMBER OF FIELDS IN ONE-SHOT RECORDING (ONE SHOT•FIELD)
Sets the number of recorded fields in the one-shot recording mode. When the JOG dial is turned to the right, the display will be
switched in the order of 1 } 2 } 3 } 4 } 5 } 10 } 20 } 30 } 1 }....
6 SETTING THE INTERVAL TIME IN THE ONE-SHOT RECORDING MODE (ONE SHOT•INTERVAL)
Sets the interval time in the one-shot recording mode. When the JOG dial is turned to the right, the display will be switched in the
order of SHOT } 10S (second) } 15S } 30S } 45S } 1M } 2M } 3M } SHOT }....
REAR TERMINAL
1 SETTING THE CALL SIGNAL OUTPUT AT THE END OF THE TAPE (CALL OUT)
Enables or disables the signal that is output from the CALL terminal when the end of the tape is
reached during recording. If any abnormalities occur during recording, a CALL signal is output from
the CALL terminal on the rear panel regardless of CALL OUT setting.
WRNG•TAPE END: A signal is output at the end of the tape or when a malfunction occurs.
WRNG•REMAIN: The signal is output when a malfunction occurs in this VCR or when the tape
has approximately 3 minutes left in 3H mode.
WRNG: When a malfunction occurs in the VCR during recording, a CALL signal is output.
This is used in conjunction with TAPE END (FIRST TIME SET UP) to determine when the CALL signal is output as shown below.
2 SETTING THE FREQUENCY DIVISION RATIO (CLOCK OUT)
Sets the frequency division ratio of the CLOCK OUT terminal.
First, set the recording mode for the “CLOCK OUT” pulse output in the “REAR TERMINAL” menu.
REC: When recording in any mode.
T/L-REC: When recording in time lapse mode (L18H, L24H, 48H, 72H, 96H, 120H, 168H or 0H).
Second, select the frequency division ratio setting by turning the SHUTTLE ring. When the JOG dial is turned, the display will be
switched in the order of 1 } 2 } 3 } 4 } 5 } 10 } 15 } 20 } 25 } 30 } 50 } 60 } F (field) } 1 } ... The numbers from 1 to
60 indicate the number of frames in 3H or 6H recording mode or the number of fields in time lapse recording mode. (One frame
consists of two fields.) One field is selected when it is set to “F” (field).
3 SETTING THE OPERATION MODE OF THE MODE OUTPUT TERMINAL (MODE OUT)
Set the state in which the signal output at the MODE OUT terminal is switched to the active condition. When the JOG dial is turned,
the display will be switched on in the order of REC (recording) } PLAY (playback) } POWER (power “ON”) } TAPE IN (tape is
inserted) } TAPE REMAIN (3 minutes in 3H mode before the tape end) } CLOCK ADJ (output the signal for 1 second when the
clock indicates “00(min.):00(sec.)”) } REC.
4 SETTING THE OPERATION MODE OF THE REC IN TERMINAL (REC IN)
SERIES: Recording starts when the REC IN terminal is short-circuited to ground or a “L” level voltage (0 - +1.6V) is applied.
REC-START/ STOP: Recording starts when the REC IN terminal is shor t-circuited to ground or a “L” level voltage (0 - +1.6V) is
applied. Should this connection be removed, recording will stop.
SYNC REC: The video signal from 3 or 9 cameras can be recorded separately by connecting the switcher. (“SYNC REC” function
is available when recording in L18H or L24H mode.) Refer to “SYNCHRONOUS RECORDING” on page 16.
