pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

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.

PLAYBACK

OPERATION

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.

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.

NOTICE

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.

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

violated.

INTRODUCTION

FEATURES

Various time modes & High Density modes.

With a T-120 tape, it is possible to record over periods ranging from 2 to 168 hours. Of course High Density recording is possible. The modes are explained in more detail. (See page 21.)

Virtual real-time recording is possible.

It is possible to virtual real-time record in EPA18 mode. (See page 21.)

Internal time-date generator.

This VCR includes an internal time-date generator, necessary for documentation purposes. (See page 15.)

On-screen programming.

Menu driven programming simplifies set-up of various functions including but not limited to the following: time & date search, timer setting, and alarm recording.

Timer recording function.

With timer recording, it is possible to set two programs for each day of the week as well as one daily program. Up to 15 programs total are available for timer recording. (See pages 25 - 28.)

Tape remaining function.

With this feature, it is possible to check the time remaining until the end of tape during the recording process as well as playback process. (See page 6, note w.)

Alarm record function.

With a dry contact closure upon the alarm input terminal, it is possible to set the VCR into alarm mode. When recording in the alarm mode, the VCR automatically enters into a mode which usually is a faster recording mode. This is done so that more information can be recorded.

Auto record function.

While in the timer record or timer standby mode, this unit can automatically begin recording when a dry contact closure is applied across the external control input and ground terminals.

Alarm memory search function.

This VCR provides an alarm memory function for finding the alarm event during playback. (See page 43.)

Repeat record function.

Repeat record function enables the VCR to automatically rewind the tape when it reaches the end and restarts the recording process. (See page 36.)

Restart record function.

This function enables the VCR to automatically restart the recording process in the event of a power failure. After power is restored, the VCR will restart the recording process. (See page 24.)

Shuttle function.

With the shuttle dial, a wide variety of playback functions are available. They include picture search, slow playback, field advance playback, reverse field advance playback, and still playback (See pages 40 - 41.)

Clean slow and still.

A clean crisp image is crucial and is the main purpose for the existence of a surveillance recorder. This VCR offers a clean and noiseless playback, that is essential for surveillance applications. (Pay attention to page 39.)

Time date search function.

With time date search, it is possible to search for a picture recorded on a certain time and date. (See page 42.)

Head cleaning function.

Head cleaning is automatically performed at the end of timer recording and at tape end in order to prevent head jamming. There is also head cleaning once every two hours when operating in time modes of 24 hours or more.

Automatic head clog detection.

When recording in time mode SP120 and SP168, video head clog detection is automatically carried out once for every two hours. When the video head clog is found, head cleaning is carried out for approximately 10 times. When cleaning is still not possible, "E-6" is displayed.

Record check function.

By pressing the record check button during recording, the VCR automatically replays the last few seconds of the recording. (See page 5, note 2).

Wired remote control function (Option)

The wired remote control allows the following VCR functions.

• Fast Forward • Forward picture search

• Rewind • Reverse picture search

• Pause • Still

HOW TO OPERATE 24 HOUR VIRTUAL REAL TIME MODE

• In order to operate 24 hour virtual real time mode, please use T-160 VHS 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

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.

Cautions:

Do not install the VCR in a location near heat sources, such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or impacts.

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the VCR on soft surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.), too near materials such as curtains and draperies or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack.

Keep the VCR and the video cassettes away from strong magnetic fields.

To disconnect the lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the lead itself.

OPERATION

Do not hit or shake the VCR when moving it. This may cause damage.
