IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
PLAYBACK
OPERATION
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.
NOTICE
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 play it back to check
for proper recording.

NOTICE
(*1): Without an alarm trigger input.
• 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.
21
i 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
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.

When the PAUSE button is pressed during recording, the VCR goes to the pause mode. To release, press either the PAUSE
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

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

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.

INTRODUCTION
TIMER RECORDING
There are two kinds of timer recording. One is daily timer recording, and the other is weekly 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.)
PREPARATION
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.

ALARM RECORDING
If an alarm condition arises, the alarm function operates with an alarm input signal.
Operation at Alarm Input
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: SPA2, EPA6, SPA12, EPA18, SPA24.

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.

OPERATION
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 “SPL01”, “SPL02” or “SPL03” mode, the VCR automatically forwards 2 fields with recording
every appointed time (SPL01: 1min, SPL02: 2min, SPL03: 3min.) to protect the tape and the video head from damage.

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.
Do not drop any inflammable or metallic objects, or liquid into the VCR. This may cause damage to the VCR.
Do not hit or shake the VCR when moving it. This may cause damage.
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.
