Notes on operation

• This unit is designed with the NV-T160 cassette tape as a reference.

• Recording is possible up to 40 hours with this unit when the NV-T160 cassette tape is used.

• Depending on the type of video cassette used, the recordable time will differ.

• Sound can be recorded in all time modes.

• The 24- and 40-hour modes are time lapse modes. Pictures are recorded with frames skipped to enable lengthy recording and playback.

• A tape recorded in a time lapse (24-/40-hour) mode can be played back in quick motion in the 8-hour mode.

• A tape recorded in the 8-hour mode can be played back in slow motion using the time lapse (24-/40-hour) mode.

• A tape recorded in the 2-hour mode on a different VTR can be played back in the 2-hour mode.

• Tapes recorded on this machine cannot be played back other VHS video recorder as they are not compatible.

Selecting the cassette tape

The unit is designed as a product required to exhibit high reliability in surveillance, security , monitoring, etc. In order to maintain its recording reliability, it is recommended that the Panasonic video tapes listed below be used.

<VHS tapes> • NV-T160

• NV-T120

• NV-T90

• NV-T60

• NV-T30

• Avoid using 180-minute tapes with this unit.

q Switch on the power to the connected equipment. w Adjust so that the images of the video cameras

appear properly on the TV monitor.

e Check that the date and time displayed on the TV

monitor have been adjusted properly.

t Set the timer recording, auto repeat recording, alarm

recording, restoration-of-power-after-failure recording or other recording function.

y Select the time mode for the recording. u Press the REC button.

r Insert a cassette tape into the unit after checking

that the tab on the cassette is intact.

Notes on operation

• If the PAUSE/STILL button is pressed during recording, the unit is set to the pause mode, and after about 5 minutes in this mode it is transferred to the stop mode.

• Neat frame-to-frame continuity is not achieved if the recording mode is set again after the PAUSE/STILL button is pressed during recording.

• When the MENU/REC LOCK switch has been set to OFF, other operations can be performed during recording.

• When restoration-of-power-after-failure recording is performed, recording can be continued in the same time mode even if the power should fail provided that the power is restored within about one week. (This applies only if the power has been supplied continuously for 3 or more days.)

• When performing auto repeat recording or timer recording, do not neglect to conduct the routine inspections.

• When recording images from a black-and-white camera, set the video signal mode on Menu Screen 4 to B_W.

• Remove the cassette tape if the unit is to be left standing for a prolonged period of time.

• When the power supply is interrupted during recording (with the power switch still ON), a non-recorded portion will be made in the beginning of the tape travel, or the tape will be over-recorded at its ending section. But this is not a malfunction.

Tips For Better Recording

In order to ensure greater reliability in monitoring, surveillance and other continuous operations lasting many hours, this unit comes with some safety functions for recording. Read the following descriptions of these functions before proceeding to operate the unit.

Recording mode lock

There are two ways, as described below, to maintain the recording mode during recording by disabling the operations of the power switch as well as the TIME MODE and operation buttons.

q Set the MENU/REC LOCK switch to REC LOCK. w Set REC LOCK on Menu Screen 1 to ON. (See

Note)

The following button and connectors are operational during recording even if the MENU/REC LOCK switch is set to REC LOCK.

• Alarm input connector, alarm reset connector

• REC REVIEW

Recording check

When the REC CHECK button is pressed during recording, the tape runs temporarily in the reverse direction, and the recorded section is played back. This function can be used to check the daily operation of the equipment in the system.

Restoration-of-power-after-failure recording

When a power failure has occurred during recording, the unit automatically starts recording if the power is restored within approximately one week.

• When the power fails, the tape “losing” safety protection function is activated to protect the video heads and video tape.

Notes:

• When the power cord has come out of the socket or a power failure has occurred, no operations will be acknowledged for about 30 seconds after the power has been restored: this is to protect the tape.

• Once the recording mode is established, recording cannot be released until REC LOCK on Menu Screen 1 is set OFF.

Timer Recording

There are two methods of timer recording: one uses the internal timer and the other uses an external timer.

Internal timer recording

Start time and stop time

Bear in mind the following points when setting these times.

• When the stop time is set later than the start time:

Recording will commence at the start time on the day concerned and stop at the end time on the same day. Example: 8:30 → 17:00

• When the start time is set later than the stop time or the start time and stop time for weekly recording (weekly timer) are the same:

Recording starts at the start time on the day concerned and ends at the stop time on the following day. Example: 17:00 → 8:30

• When the start time and stop time are the same (for weekly recording):

Recording starts at 8:30 on the day concerned and ends at 8:30 on the following day. Example: 8:30 → 8:30

To record for an entire day, set the start time and stop time to 0:00.

• Weekly recording (weekly timer) can be set by the day of the week.

• When (INTERNAL TIMER REC) on Menu Screen 5 is set to OFF for both the weekly timer and daily recording (daily timer), nothing appears for the start or stop time. Timer recording is considered not to be set.

VTR operations after the settings

• The unit’s power is turned off, and even if other buttons are pressed, their operations are not accepted.

• When the start time and stop time have not been set, INT flashes on the display.

Releasing the internal timer mode

Set the TIMER MODE switch to OFF to clear INT on the display.

Note:

• Since it takes some moments for recording to start, set the start time for timer recording one minute earlier.

Internal timer recording operation

Check that a video cassette with its tab intact has been inserted.

Check that the TV monitor shows the correct present time.

Set the MENU/REC LOCK switch to MENU to display the menu screens. Press the page button so that the INTERNAL TIMER REC timer setting screen appears on the TV monitor.

[INTERNAL TIMER REC] P5

[TIMER]START END T-M SUN OFF MON OFF TUE OFF WED OFF THU OFF FRI OFF SAT OFF DLY OFF

Set the operation times of the internal timer.

• For details on the settings, refer to the sections on “Daily timer” or “Weekly timer.” (See page 17.)

Upon completion of the settings, set the MENU/ REC LOCK switch to OFF. The regular screen is restored.

Set the TIMER MODE switch to INT TIMER so that INT lights on the display.

When the time and date for Menu Screen 1 have not been set, a cassette has not been inserted, the timer has not been set, or when a cassette with a broken out tab has been inserted, the buzzer sounds and INT flashes on the display.

TIME MODE

Notes on operation

1. Bear in mind the following points when playing back parts of a tape recorded in a time lapse (24-/40-hour) mode.

• When the tape is played back in the same mode, noise resembling dropouts will appear on the screen: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.

• The picture may oscillate in the vertical direction: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.

• When a tape is played back in the same time mode, the picture may shake slightly sideways: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.

• Turn Quasi-V insertion ON ( ) or OFF ( ) with the FWD ADV button. Dancing can be minimized when a tape is played back in a time lapse (24-/40-hour) mode. Moreover, playing back a tape in a system featuring a frame switcher enables the appearance of the pictures of other cameras to be reduced.

2. Bear in mind the following points when playing back parts of a tape recorded in a VHS mode (8 hours).

• When a tape is played back in a time lapse mode, slight noise may appear at the top and bottom of the screen: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.

3. When noise has occurred during still-picture playback, press the FWD ADV button to play it out. (It may not always be possible to play out the noise.)

4. Bear in mind that if the power cable is disconnected and then re-connected or if the power has been restored after it has failed when the tape was played with EXT indicated on the display by the TIMER MODE button, the unit will automatically be set from playback to the recording mode.

5. When the PAUSE/STILL button is pressed during playback, the unit is set to the pause mode, and a still picture PLAY button. If the unit is kept in the pause mode for more than 5 minutes, it will be set to the stop mode.

6. If the horizontal AFC on the TV monitor is too long or when a video camera with random interlace scanning has been used, the top area of the TV monitor may be distorted: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.

7. A tape recorded in the 2-hour mode on a dif ferent deck can be played back in the 2-hour mode. However, it cannot be played back in 24- or 40-hour mode.

• “8H” appears when a tape is played back which was recorded for 6 hours using another VTR.

8. Tapes recorded on this machine cannot be played back other VHS video recorder as they are not compatible.

9. When the power cord has come out of the socket or a power failure has occurred during fast forwarding or rewinding, no operations will be acknowledged for about 30 seconds after the power has been restored: this is to protect the tape.
