CAUTIONS

Please read these cautions before you operate this VTR.

.Stàckìnig

SSBB&B!

When first unpacking the unit, you may notice that the cassette compartment door is partially open. This condition is due to the operation of a safety device designed to protect the unit from vibration during shipment; it is not a malfunction. When the AC mains lead is connected to a mains outlet, the door v\/ill return to its original position.

If the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the VTR. In this case, the Dew Indicator “ d ” will flash on and off and the VTR will not operate.

Avoid places where there is high humidity or much dust, which may cause damage to internal parts.

s 1

The ventilation holes prevent abnormal increase in temper

ature. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially avoid

covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or paper.

Keep the VTR away from extreme direct heat such as direct sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.

Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VTR

because it will adversely affect the performance of the VTR.

Touching internal parts of this VTR is dangerous, and may cause serious damage to the VTR. Do not attempt to disassemble the VTR. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

Keep Water away

f^nRiîîïjï

Place the VTR in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

mam

The video heads are the means by which the recorder places picture signals on the tape during recording, and reads picture signals from the tape during playback. If these heads become dirty and clogged from long use, the signals can no longer be recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example, during the playback of a tape, the sound is

reproduced normally, but no picture is seen, or the picture is

greatly distorted. When such a symptom case occurs have

the recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

in the VTR

Condensation may form in the VTR if:

•The VTR is in a room where the heater has just been turned on.

•The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.

•The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a well-heated room.

•The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,

such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot and humid.

When dew forms in the VTR: (Refer to page 6)

The Dew Indicator “ d ” on the Multi-Function Display will flash on and off and all the function buttons are made

non-operational to protect the tape and the video heads. When the Dew Indicator flashes, wait until this indicator

disappears.

• If dew condensation forms inside the VTR while the VTR On/Off Switch is off, it will turn on automatically and the Dew Indicator will flash on and off. As soon as the dew condensation has been dissolved, the VTR will turn itself off again.

• If the Dew Indicator continues to stay on, have the recorder checked by qualified service personnel.

Keep the VTR away from flower vases, tubs, sinks, etc.

CAUTION: If liquids are spilled into the VTR, serious

damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VTR, consult qualified service personnel.

Ughtnirtg

To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug from the VTR.

Cleanirig the Vtft

Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid, or other chemicals. And do not use compressed air to

remove dust.

How to operate the Remote Controller (Digital Scanner)

Press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button to “ON”.

• If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds (4 minutes during setting of the clock time), the scanner

will automatically switch over to the power-saving standby condition and the lamp will go off. (In this case, if bar codes have already been read but not yet transmitted to the VTR, the data will be cancelled.)

•When the lamp is not lit, press the button to turn it “ON” again.

(A) Place the Remote Controller on the Small Box. (B) Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.

The “Beep” sound indicates that the bar code was read

completely.

Power Source for the Remote Controller

■ The Remote Controller is powered by 2 ÌEC “R6” size batteries. The life of the batteries is about one year, however, it depends on the frequency of use. Inspect and if necessary, replace the batteries once a year.

CAUTION FOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

•Load the new batteries with their polarities (0 and ©)

aligned correctly.

•Do not apply heat to batteries, or internal short-circuit may occur.

•If you do not intend to use the Remote Controller for a long period of time, remove the batteries and store them in a cool and dry place.

• Remove spent batteries immediately and dispose of them.

• Do not use an old and a new batteries together. (Also never use an alkaline battery with a manganese battery.)

Load the batteries as follows:

O Push back the battery compartment locking lever.

@ Lift off the battery compartment lid.

•Treat the Programming Sheet with care. If the sheet gets dirty or scratched, the bar code reading may become impossible.

• Protect the Remote Controller from strong shocks and vibration. Keep it away from water and places with high temperature and humidity.

• If the bar code is traced slowly, it cannot be read correctly.

•When there is no “Beep” sound, the reading of the

bar code is incomplete. Trace the bar code again.

•When using the Programming Sheet, put it on flat surface: Reading the bar codes while holding it in

your hand or bending it, may result in incorrect operation.

• Do not deviate from the bar code, nor stop tracing

halfway.

o Insert the batteries with their polarities aligned as

indicated inside the battery compartment.

O Replace the lid.

Note:

•The infra-red beam should be transmitted directly at the Infra-red Remote Control Receiver on the front of the

VTR.

• Direct sunlight may interfere with the beam.

•The lightsensing angle of the Infra-red Remote Control Receiver in the VTR is about 30° for each side from the centre.

•The unit should be used within a range of about 7 meters from the front of the VTR.

Recommendation

After the programming of timer recording(s) is completed, press the Digital Scanner On/Off Button so that the in dications in the LCD Display disappear, in order to save battery power.

The following may happen except during Slow and Normal playback in forward direction.

Still and Slow Playback

• Depending on the TV set used, it may not be possible to obtain a proper picture during Still and Slow playback.

• If the TV set is equipped with an automatic vertical hold control, the picture may shake vertically. In this case, set the TV set’s vertical hold (AUTO/MANUAL) selector to the

“MANUAL” position, and adjust its vertical hold control.

•When changing over from Review Search to Still play back, the picture will reverse by a few frames approx. 2 seconds later.

Slow Tracking Control

•When noise bars appear during Still, Still Advance or Slow playback, switch over to slow playback and adjust with the Tracking “-1-” or Button to reduce the noise bars.

• It may not be possible to eliminate the noise bars completely.

•The sound will be played back only during normal playback.

• If you leave the VTR in the still playback mode for more than 5 minutes, the VTR will automatically switch over to the Stop mode to protect the tape and the video heads.

• Immediately after starting Cue or Review playback, the picture may be distorted. Also, when these

modes are cancelled, some momentary picture

distortion may occur. However, this is not due to any

malfunction,

• Noise which takes the form of horizontal bars appears on the TV in the Cue and Review playback modes. This is not an indication of a malfunction.

•The top of the picture may become distorted in the

Cue, Review or Super Still (LP) mode. This is not an

indication of a malfunction.

•When the picture rolls vertically in the Cue or

Review mode, adjust the vertical hold control on the

TV set.

• In “LP”mode only:

1, During any playback mode other than normal

playback, the picture may have some noise bars,

the colour may be unstable, or a black and white

picture may appear.

2. When playing back a tape which was recorded

on another VTR, it may be necessary to adjust

the Tracking Control. In some cases the picture

quality may still be inferior. This is due to limita tion of format.

Repeat Playback

INSERT EDITING

When this type of editing is done, the picture and the sound are recorded on the tape as shown below. However, if no

new sound is input, the original sound remains only on the

“normal” audio track of the tape because the original Hi-Fi

sound will always be erased during insert editing.

By performing insert editing together with audio dubbing, the sound on the “normal” audio track can also be replaced at the same time.
