PRECAUTIONS

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for its installation:

œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from

sources of intense heat.

œ Avoid dusty or humid places. œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper

heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation holes.

œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only. œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations. œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot

locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).

œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this

may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it

from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power

cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-authorized service center.

œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

Moisture Condensation Problems

Cause:

When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity, dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator (À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.

Prevention:

Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.

When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready for operation.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the VHS logo. This VCR was primarily designed for use with T-160 cassette tapes. It is recommended that you use T-160 standard grade VHS video cassette tapes for optimal performance.

NOTE:

œ If using longer tapes (i.e. T-180) the tape travel will

not be as stable and that may cause problems.

Handling Cassette Tapes

The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically in their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to mold formation.

Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never touch the tape with your fingers.

Protect the cassette tapes from shocks and strong vibrations.

To Protect your Recordings

After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the recording, use a flat-tripped screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.

To record again on a tape without an erasure-prevention tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

Erasure-prevention tab

1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.

Gently push the center of the cassette until it is loaded automatically.

ø The time display will switch to the reset counter

“0:00:00” display.

ø The cassette indicator “o” lights on the digital

display.

NOTE:

œ If you try to record on a cassette without an

erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the cassette.

Unloading

In stop mode, press the EJECT button.

ø The cassette is automatically ejected.

NOTES:

œ Do not insert any other object in the cassette loading

slot, as that may cause injury and damage to the VCR.

œ If your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot,

unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull your hand out as that may cause severe injuries.

Precautions concerning the video cassette tapes

œ Do not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have

been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered in any way.

œ Some rewinders may tangle the tape, and therefore

their use is not recommended.

œ When tapes are recorded over and over again, the

recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on” on page 19, and replace the tape with a new tape as required.

English

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Correct tape thread check function

This function checks to make sure that the cassette has been correctly loaded so that recording can be carried out.

NOTES:

œ After the cassette tape is loaded, the mechanism will

operate for about 5 seconds to check that the tape has been threaded (loaded) correctly automatically and the cassette indicator “o” will flash during that period. If the tape is not loaded properly, the cassette will be ejected.

œ If the REC, PLAY, FF, REW or STOP button is

pressed during the tape thread check operation, the command will only be executed after the tape thread has been checked. Only the EJECT button will operate while the tape thread is being checked.

œ If “TAPE IN MODE” in the (GENERAL SET) menu is

set to “REC”, the recording indicator “a” will light while the tape thread is being checked. However, recording will only start after the tape thread check is completed.

TAPE MANAGEMENT

This VCR is equipped with a tape management function. Using this function you can protect previous recordings and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape protection term (number of days), the maximum number of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. For details on how to set this function, refer to “Setting the Tape Management Function”.

PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the

tape can be rerecorded over.

REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings,

in order to maintain a good image quality.

GROUP NO. SET: To manage tapes belonging to

different recording groups.

NOTES:

œ Before using this function, make sure that the clock is

set properly.

œ To use the tape management function, it must be set

before recording is started.

œ The tape management data is recorded at the

beginning of the tape.

Operation

When the REC button is pressed, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, and will play back some of the tape to check for the presence of tape management data (no image appears). The message “T. MANAGE. CHK” appears on-screen while the presence and type of data are being checked.

NOTE:

œ When performing alarm recording, the tape

management function will not operate even if it is active.

If no tape management data is present on the tape

Recording will start according to the settings in the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu.

When recording starts, the updated tape management data is recorded onto the tape.

If the tape has already been recorded on, the message “USED TAPE” will flash on-screen until recording starts.

If tape management data is present on the tape

The tape management data is checked and if there is no conflict, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, then recording starts and the updated tape management data is recorded onto the tape. The message “T. MANAGE. OK” appears on-screen while the tape is being rewound and the tape management data is being recorded.

If a conflict is found when the tape management data is checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is displayed and the conflicting setting will flash. This menu will show the settings taken from the data recorded on the tape and not the current data settings held in the VCR’s (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu setting. Refer to “Tape Management Conflict Display” for detailed information.

NOTE:

œ If the VCR is set for alarm recordings, alarms will be

recorded based on the different settings. If an alarm signal is input while “T. MANAGE. CHK” is displayed, the alarms will be recorded after feeding a certain amount of tape but the data will not be recorded (updated). If an alarm signal is input during data recording, the alarms will be recorded after data recording.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

œ If the tape management data cannot be read, the

VCR will switch to stop mode and “DATA NG” will be displayed on-screen. This may indicate that the beginning of the tape (data recording/reading section) is damaged and the tape may be unusable. The message “DATA NG” will disappear when the EJECT or PLAY button is pressed.

œ Set the security lock function to on in order to

protect the security of this feature.

MAINTENANCE

Daily Inspection

The following daily inspections are recommended in order to assure long-term and trouble-free operation of the unit.

The daily inspections are particularly important if using autorepeat recording.

Inspection Procedure

1 Turn on the power to the VCR, camera, TV monitor

and other connected devices. Check that the image received on the TV monitor is

correct. Check that the on-screen display of the date and

time is correct.

4 To check the recording condition of the previous

day, rewind the recorded tape a few seconds. Press the PLAY button and check that the playback

image is correct.

6 Check that the recorded date and time are correct.

NOTES:

œ If the security lock is engaged, it has to be released

before proceeding to the inspection.

œ If any problem is discovered during the inspection,

unplug the power cord then consult your dealer.

Periodic Inspection

Periodic inspection and maintenance should be referred to your dealer.

If there is noise in the playback picture, and it cannot be corrected using the tracking control, it may indicated that the video heads need cleaning.

Soiling is unlikely, thanks to the automatic head cleaning function, but due to factors such as the use of poor quality tape and the usage environment the heads could become dirty in a short time.

The video heads should be inspected every 1,000 hours of use to determine if they need to be replaced.

The video heads usage can be checked using the (POWER FAILURE/DEW/USED TIME) menu.

Cabinet Cleaning

Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean, soft cloth, moistened with lukewarm water and wrung dry.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR OTHER TYPES OF CLEANERS. THESE CHEMICALS CAN CRACK OR DISCOLOR THE CABINET.

About the Backup Battery

The date and time settings are maintained for up to 30 days by a rechargeable lithium battery that is fully charged after the VCR has been connected to a power source for 48 hours or more.

Depending on the battery usage it may become necessary to change it. For replacement and disposal of the old battery, please contact your dealer.

After the battery has been replaced, press the ALL RESET button, then enter all the time, date, etc. settings as required.

Automatic Head Cleaning Function

œ Whenever a video cassette is loaded or ejected, the

video heads are automatically cleaned.

œ During autorepeat recording, the video heads are

automatically cleaned when the tape reaches the end.

English
