IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Only cassettes marked IVHSI can be used with this VCR.
-------------------------------------------------------------------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.
-Daily Maintenance
Before beginning the day’s operation, rewind the cassette tape recorded on the previous day a few counts and piay it back to check for proper recording.
This VCR is not compatible with ordinary [VH^ VCRs.
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 SPA2, EPA6, SPA12, EPA18 and SPA24 modes.
• In SPL01, SPL02 or SPL03 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. When recording pause mode continues for appointed time (SPL01: 1 min, SPL02: 2 min, SPL03: 3 min.) without an alarm 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

• In order to operate 24 hour virtual real time mode, please use T-160 VMS video tape with EPA18 record mode. EPA18 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 EPA18 mode. Also, when you use EPA18 mode for recording, you will get 20 fields of video information per second, SPA24 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.

button again or the REC button, if the VCR is in pause mode for longer than 10 minutes the VCR will automatically go into stop mode to protect the video tape and heads. Repeat recording, restart recording, alarm recording, etc. also operate during recording. When recording is interrupted or the recording time is changed, the pictures may be disturbed at that location.
If a power failure should occur, it is possible to resume recording in the same time mode as long as the power is restored within
approximately 10 days.
During repeat recording, pay attention to the following points.
• Timer recording and alarm recording is not possible during automatic rewind.
• The buzzer does not sound even at tape end.
• When an operation button is pressed during automatic rewind, the repeat recording function does not operate. Reset to the recording mode.
The time mode button is not accepted during alarm recording or timer recording.
Make sure to carry out daily check for repeat recording or timer recording.

TIMER RECORDING
There are two kinds of timer recording. One is daiiy timer recording, and the other is weekiy timer recording.
Once the timer programs are set, the VCR can retain all programmed information in the event of a power failure (10 day maximum memory storage). Before setting timer programs, make sure that the present time is correct. (See page 15-16.)

Setting the Timer Program

The timer programs are set on the two pages of PROGRAM screen which provides “on/skip”, start time, end time and recording time mode for setting. The blinking position moves to right direction or downward with the > SHIFT button, and to opposite direction with < SHIFT button. When the program event is set to SKIP, timer recording will not be carried out even if the start or end time is set.

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

Operation at Alarm Input

The VCR can be programmed to record in the following time modes during alarm recording; SPA2, EPA6, SPA12, EPA18, SPA24.

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

If event recording is desired, set the VCR's recording mode to SPL01, SPL02 or SPL03. In order to accomplish this press the time
mode button until “SPL01”, “SPL02” or “SPL03” is shown.
If there is no alarm input present when in “SPLOI”, “SPL02” or “SPL03” mode, the VCR automatically forwards 2 fields with recording
every appointed time (SPLOI: Imin, SPL02: 2min, SPL03: 3min.) to protect the tape and the video head from damage.

CAUTIONS DURING USE

Dew Condensation

This VCR includes a safety function to prevent operation when dew condensation occurs and thus protects against damage to tapes, the video heads and other parts.
If condensation occurs
The DEW display blinks on the VCR display and a buzzer sounds continually (when BUZZER switch is ON). * To turn the buzzer off, turn the BUZZER
switch to OFF.
-f-
Remove the cassette tape.
-f-
With the POWER switch ON, wait until the Dew display stops blinking. This may take several hours depending on surrounding conditions.
What is condensation?
If you pour cold beer in a glass, water droplets gather on the surface of the glass. This phenomenon is known as condensation.
When condensation occurs.
If you continue to use the video device in this state, the tape will cling to the internal parts of the VCR, causing
damage to the tape and video heads.
Ul
O
F
Times when condensation occurs.
• When the video device has been suddenly transferred from a cold place to a warm place.
• When using the device in a room where the heating has just been turned on or exposed directly to the cold air from an air conditioner. When the device is suddenly transported from an air­conditioned room or vehicle to a place with high tempera ture and humidity in summer.
• When used in a room with high humidity where steam is
rising, for example.

■ Remove the cassette from the VCR when not in use.
■ Save the original carton and packing materials: they will come in handy if you ever have to transport your VCR. For maximum protections, repack the VCR as it was originally packed at the factory.
■ Do not use volatile liquids such as insect spray near the VCR.
Do not leave rubber or plastic products touching the VCR for a long time. They will damage the finish.
