1 INTRODUCTION

1-1 Major Features

1-2 Periodical Maintenance

This VCR incorporates precision mechanical parts which will collect dirt over time and ultimately deteriorate and wear out.

Over long periods of use, dirt and dust accumulates on the heads, drums and tape transport mechanisms. Dust which

penetrates the VCR (especially during outdoor use) also promotes the wear and deterioration of mechanical parts by causing

poor contact between tape and heads. This also prevents the VCR from maintaining video and audio quality at high levels.

To prevent wear and deterioration, clean the heads regularly using a head cleaning tape. However, because a head cleaning

tape alone cannot clean the entire tape transport mechanism, this should also be inspected periodically to prevent any

problems that could result from a sudden failure.

Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours : U model

Recording times are selectable from 2 hours (SP mode),

6 hours (EP mode) and L12/L18/L24/24/48/72/120/168/

240/480/960 (Timelapse mode) (when T-120 tape is

used).

In the L12, L18 and L24 Timelapse modes, sound is

recorded as well.

Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours : E model

Recording times are selectable from 3 hours (SP mode)

and L12/L24/48/72/120/168/240/480/960 (Timelapse

mode) (when E-180 tape is used).

In the L12 and L24 Timelapse modes, sound is recorded

as well.

* Recording and playback are not possible in the Long

Play (LP) mode.

High-resolution recording

Delivers horizontal resolution of more than 300 lines

Tape position search function

You can automatically search the start of an alarm

recording or search for a recording made at a specified

date and time.

Recording check function

Recording conditions (quality) can be checked at any

time during recording by pressing the recording check

button.

As replacement and adjustment of parts require advanced skills and specialized equipment, please contact the person in

charge of professional video equipment at your nearest JVC-authorized service agent for servicing.

Operation lock system

The secret operation lock system prevents an accidental

or deliberate interference with VCR operation.

Camera switching signal output terminal

Warning function

Error indications are shown on the front panel display.

Error warnings include condensation and problems with

cassette loading, cassette unloading, or the rotating

system operation mode.

Periodic Maintenance

Monitoring Usage Time

Check or replace the following mechanical parts according

to the running time.

The total operation time reached by an ordinary home VCR

in 5 or 6 years may be reached by a professional VCR in

as few as 5 or 6 months. Therefore, it is important that the

total hours of operation be carefully monitored. An hour

meter in the on-screen display (see page 20) shows the

accumulated time. In the chart below, the hours

accumulated in each month are shown in relation to the

number of hours used per day. Times shown in the shaded

area indicate that maintenance should be performed.

even in color mode.

Operating mode-off video throughout function

Even when the operating mode is off, the camera’s EE

input can be output from the VCR.

*When a tape recorded on this unit is played back on

another VCR, noise may appear on playback picture.

High-density recording (HDR) function : U model only

Using the EP head, the tape is advanced at a fine pitch

for timelapse recording. In this way, about three times

more information is recorded in the same period than in

conventional timelapse modes. While this results in

some degradation of picture quality, the increased

coverage allows you to analyze the development of a

situation in greater detail. The actual recording duration

on the tape is the same as that of an ordinary timelapse

recording (select with menu switch <HDR

1-3 Precautions

Alarm recording function

Handling and storage place

When an alarm signal is input in the Record mode, the

2/6-hour mode is automatically engaged. Alarm

recording time can be selected from 5, 10, 15, 30, 60,

120, or 180 sec., to tape end, or set manually.

An index code is automatically recorded at the start

point of the alarm recording for use as an alarm cue

signal. Alarm recording points can be accessed quickly

with the alarm search function.

Do not leave the unit in the Still or Record Pause mode

for a long time as this may damage the tape.

After about 3 minutes, this unit automatically enters the

Stop mode.

Avoid using the unit in places subject to the

following conditions:

•

extreme heat or cold

strong magnetic fields (do not use a transceiver within 2

meters of this unit)

high humidity

dust and soil

Summer time compensation function

Wired remote control (optional)

Handle the unit carefully

• Do not place anything heavy on the unit (a monitor,

etc.). A malfunction may occur.

• Do not put any foreign substance into the cassette

loading slot.

• Avoid violent shocks to the recording chassis during

transportation. Remove the cassette tape from the unit

for transportation.

•

vibrations

Sensor recording

board is installed.

variations in temperature

Use this unit in horizontal (flat position) only.

Whenever an alarm signal is input in the Stop mode

(Stop, Timer Recording Standby or Operating Off

mode), the Record mode is automatically engaged.

Time/date generator

Superimposes date, month, year, hour, minute and

second on the image during recording. Also allows you

to display the number of alarms, alarm time, and the

number of the power failures on a monitor.

Timer-recording function

Up to 8 programs can be set for daily, weekly, or

weekday timer-recording. You can also set timer

recording for up to 16 days a year by specifying the date

(holidays, for example).

To avoid overheating the unit, do not block

ventilation slots or stack the units. If the internal

temperature rises too high, the tape may be

damaged.

RS-232C control

The SR-9080 can be controlled via a personal

computer. Operation status can be monitored on the

computer.

Turn off the power to save electricity when not

using the unit.

Condensation

When condensation is expected to occur

Turn the power of the VCR on before use.

If condensation has occurred

The VCR automatically ejects the cassette and the error

indication “E-08” blinks on the display. Operation is

disabled until the “E-08” indication on the display goes out.

When cold beer is poured into a glass, water drops

appear on the glass’s surface. This phenomenon is

called “condensation”. When condensation occurs on

the VCR’s head drum and tape guides it may damage

the tape.

Condensation occurs in the

following cases.

• Replace the cassette at least once every 15 days when using the 2H - 168H modes. In the 240 - 960H modes,

replace the cassette with a new one at the completion of recording.

High-Density Recording

HDR is performed with the EP heads. When HDR is set to “OFF”, recording is performed with the SP heads.

In the HDR mode, the interval between frames (fields) is reduced by about a third, allowing three 3 times as many frames

to be recorded as in the ordinary timelapse mode. This does not affect the actual recording time of the tape (the recording

time is the same as it would be if recorded in the normal (SP) Timelapse mode).

The quality of the picture recorded in the HDR mode is inferior to that in ordinary timelapse recording (equivalent to the EP

mode).

6 RECORDING

6-5 Sensor Recording

6-6 Series Recording

Sensor recording is executed only when the VCR is in the Stop mode (Stop, Timer Record Standby or Operating Off mode)

and an alarm signal is input to the rear panel’s ALARM IN terminal.

Perform the settings for sensor recording in the same way as for “Alarm Recording” on page 39.

The series recording function facilitates recording over much longer periods using several connected SR-9080s.

As soon as the tape ends in one VCR, the next VCR in the series starts recording. Using the counter end output function

enables smoother switchovers during series recording, mostly eliminating interruptions between tapes.

Connections

The mechanism of the SR-9080 cannot be guaranteed if the sensor recording function is used frequently (100 times/day

or more).

9 OPTIONAL SA-K97U RS-232C INTERFACE BOARD

U model

After transmitting the VISS SEARCH command (18), transmit the appropriate 2-byte numeric data (from 30H to 39H), the data input command

(40H), and either FF (ABH) or REW (ACH). All commands should be transmitted separately one byte at a time with “ACK” (0AH) confirmation

from the VCR after each transmission. * Execute in the Stop mode.

9-3 SA-K97U RS-232C Protocol & Commands

(18) VISS SEARCH (B3H)

: To search for a designated alarm-input point on the tape.

This section provides technical data for programmers.

The VCR starts search after returning “ACK”. When the specified point is reached, the VCR returns COMPLETION (01H). If the end or

beginning of the tape is reached before the specified point, the VCR returns NOT TARGET (05H).

This command differs from commands (16) and (17) only in that the FF (ABH) or REW (ACH) command is included separately.

Command description

To use the commands described in the following pages, prepare the VCR for communications as follows:

2 VCR setting commands

Transmit the command “JVC TABLE 1 ON” (F6H) to the VCR. The VCR will return “ACK” (0AH). When the operating mode is turned on,

the VCR is in the “ON” status.

The VCR can now receive any command described in this section. To cancel the communications mode, transmit the command “JVC

Commands available include control of recording/playback mode setting, timelapse VCR operation mode setting, date and time setting, timer

programming, on-screen setting, and others.

TABLE 1 OFF” (F7H).

5 Recording/playback mode setting commands

Two commands are available. One allows you to rotate through recording/playback modes, the other permits you to directly select the

mode.

1 VCR control commands

Commands (1) through (12) are 1-byte commands. The VCR will return “ACK” (0AH) when the command is received. Confirm that “ACK”

(0AH) has been returned before transmitting the next command.

(1) MODE SHIFT (7DH) : Switches from one recording/playback mode to the next each time the command is transmitted. Use the TL

STATUS SENSE (D6H) command to check the current mode.

Transmit 1 byte at a time with “ACK” (0AH) confirmation from the VCR after each transmission.

: Sets recording/playback mode directly.

After transmitting this command, transmit the appropriate 2-byte ASCII codes (from 30H to 39H) and the data

input command (40H). Correspondence of ASCII codes with recording/playback modes is as shown below.

(1) OPERATE ON (7BH)
