IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Only cassettes marked can be used with this VCR. This VCR is not compatible with ordinary VCRs.

Save Original Packing Materials

The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship your VCR. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.

Cassette Tape

In order to maintain recorded content and machine itself, and to prevent troubles, the use of high quality video cassette tape is recommended. Tapes which have been used for long period, used repeatedly, or kept in an unpreferable condition such as high temperature, high humidity, or strong magnetic field may cause deterioration of picture quality and some troubles. We therefore recommend use of T-120 video tapes.

Dew Condensation

Never operate this VCR immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location. When the VCR is exposed to such a change in temperature, dew condensation may occur on the cylinder inside it, one of its most crucial internal parts. The VCR is equipped with an automatic dew condensation prevention circuit designed to cope with this problem. It takes about TWO HOURS for this circuit to work with the power cord plugged in. Please do not use the VCR during this time.

Before beginning the day’s operation, rewind the cassette tape recorded on the previous day a few counts and play it back to check for proper recording.

Daily Maintenance

Copyright: To record video tapes and other material only in the event that third party copyrights and other rights are not

violated.

• The possible recording time depends on the type of video tape used.

• Audio recording is possible in the A2, A6, A12, A18 and A24 hour modes.

• The A12, A24, 24, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, 480, 720 and 960 modes are time lapse modes.

• For one-shot recording, set the VCR in the L01, L02 or L03 record mode.

• In L01, L02 or L03 modes, the VCR is set to recording pause mode. The alarm recording starts by an alarm trigger signal input, and the VCR is set to recording pause mode again to wait for next alarm trigger input. Also the one-shot recording starts by an one-shot trigger signal input, and the VCR is set to recording pause mode again to wait for next one-shot trigger input. When recording pause mode continues for appointed time (L01: 1 min, L02: 2 min, L03: 3 min.) without an alarm trigger and an one-shot trigger input, the VCR forwards the tape 2 fields with recording to protect the tape and the video head from damage.

HOW TO OPERATE 24 HOUR VIRTUAL REAL TIME MODE

NOTICE

• In order to operate 24 hour virtual real time mode, please use T-160 VHS video tape with A18 record mode. A18 mode means that T-120 tape will run 18 hours. However, if you use longer length of video tape which is T-160, it will record up to 24 hours with A18 mode. Also, when you use A18 mode for recording, you will get 20 fields of video information per second, A24 mode will be less than 5 fields video information per second. (Refer to the above chart for the details.)

• When using the T-160 tape, it will be necessary to replace the tape with new one and make a cleaning of the mechanical deck of this VCR more frequently. Because, the thickness of T-160 tape is about 3/4 of T-120 tape, so durability, mechanical strength, etc. of the tape are inferior to T-120 tape.

If an alarm condition arises, the alarm function operates with an alarm input signal.

Operation at Alarm Input

INTRODUCTION

When there is an alarm during recording, recording pause or stop modes, the VCR automatically goes into alarm recording mode. The VCR can be programmed to record in the following time modes during alarm recording: A2, A6, A12, A18, A24.

Recording Recording pause Stop

Alarm Recording

When there is an alarm input in the STOP mode, a slight delay will occur in start of the alarm recording.

PREPARATION

When the pause mode continues for 10 minutes the VCR goes to the stop mode. This occurs in order to protect the video heads and tape. While in pause mode, the video head is constantly tracing the same location.

Alarm recording will not operate from power off mode and timer power off mode.

Event Recording

If event recording is desired, set the VCR’s recording mode to L01, L02 or L03. In order to accomplish this press the time mode button until “L01”, “L02” or “L03” is shown. If there is no alarm input present when in “L01”, “L02” or “L03” mode, the VCR automatically forwards 2 fields with recording every appointed time (L01: 1min, L02: 2min, L03: 3min.) to protect the tape and the video head from damage.
