1 INTRODUCTION
1-1 Major Features
5 Extended timelapse recording for up to 960 hours
Recording times are selectable from 2 hours (SP mode),
6 hours (EP mode) and 24/48/72/120/168/240/480/960
(Timelapse mode) (when T-120 tape is used).
5 High-resolution recording
5 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.
5 Recording check function
Delivers horizontal resolution of more than 400 lines
even in color mode.
Recording conditions (quality) can be checked at any
time during recording by pressing the recording check
button.
*When a tape recorded on this unit is played back on
another VCR, noise may appear on playback picture.
5 High-density recording (HDR) function
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>).
5 Alarm recording function
5 Operation lock system
The secret operation lock system prevents an accidental
or deliberate interference with VCR operation.
5 Camera switching signal output terminal
5 Warning function

Error warnings include condensation and problems with
cassette loading, cassette unloading, or the rotating
system operation mode.
5 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 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.
5 Series recording function
Two or more SR-9090U can be connected for extended,
long-term series recording. As the tape in each VCR
reaches the end, the next unit in the series will
automatically start recording.
5 Automatic re-start of recording after a power failure
5 Time adjust function
With the IN/OUT terminal for time adjustment, the time
difference can be set to “0” with multiple SR-9090Us
connected. (adjustment time: 00:00/12:00)
5 Digital hour meter display
5 Repeat playback/recording
5 Alarm recording, tape end and warning electronic
buzzer
5 Sensor recording
Whenever an alarm signal is input in the Stop mode
(Stop, Timer Recording Standby or Operating Off
mode), the Record mode is automatically engaged.
5 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.
5 Recording control with external activation signal
5 Counter end function
5 External timer connection
5 Timer-recording function
5 Summer time compensation function
5 Wired remote control (optional)
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).
Used when an optional SA-K97U RS-232C interface
board is installed.
5 RS-232C control
The SR-9090U can be controlled via a personal
computer. Operation status can be monitored on the
computer.

1 INTRODUCTION
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.
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.
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.

1-3 Precautions
Handling and storage place
5 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.
5 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
vibrations
variations in temperature
5 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.
5 Use this unit in horizontal (flat position) only.
5 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.
5 Turn off the power to save electricity when not
using the unit.
Condensation
5 Condensation
5 When condensation is expected to occur
Turn the power of the VCR on before use.
5 If condensation has occurred
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.
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.
5 Condensation occurs in the
SR-9090U
Head drum
following cases:
REC
• When the VCR is moved from a
cold place to a warm place.
• In a room that has just been heated
or in an area directly exposed to a

1 INTRODUCTION
1-3 Precautions
Video cassette
• Only use video cassette bearing the
mark.
• To prevent accidental erasure of a recorded tape, break
the erasure prevention tab on the cassette. To use a
cassette with a broken tab, place a piece of cellophane
tape over the broken tab.
Erasure prevention tab
• Video cassettes cannot be used upside down.
• Leaving the tape in a partially wound condition for a long
time may damage the tape. Rewind the tape to the
beginning before storage.
Timelapse recording is performed over very
long periods of time which means that a
durable tape is required.
When using VHS tapes, do not use tapes with
recording times of more than 120 minutes
(T-160/T-180 etc.).
To obtain the best picture quality, use an HG (high
grade) tape (a JVC cassette is recommended).
Degradation of picture quality may result with some
types of tape. Make a test recording before
performing any important recording to check the
picture quality.
For best results, use a T-120 tape.
1-4 Daily Inspection
Although this unit has been designed for reliable operation
over a long period of time, a daily inspection is
recommended to ensure optimum performance. In
particular, be sure to check the repeat recording/playback
function on a daily basis.
3 Check that the date and time shown on the monitor are
correct.
4 Rewind the tape recorded the previous day for several
seconds.
5 Press the play button for playback.
6 Check that the playback picture is normal.
7 Check that the recorded date and time are correct.
Inspection procedure
1 Turn on the power for all units connected to the
surveillance system.
5 This unit includes a Recording Check function (using the
[REC CHECK] button). Use these features to quickly
check recording quality on a daily basis.
2 Check the quality of the image shown on the monitor.
If any problems are found after inspection, turn the
power off, unplug the power plug from the AC outlet,
and contact your JVC dealer.

• HDR ON/OFF can be activated in any recording mode except the 2H/6H mode.
• Available recording time may vary depending on the type of cassette used.
• For best results, use a T-120 tape.
• 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).

standard VHS VCRs. Use this VCR, an S-VHS VCR or a
VCR with SQPB function to play back tapes recorded on
this unit. Also be aware that not all S-VHS VCRs will be
able to play back tapes recorded on this unit, because
some use different S-VHS/VHS detection methods.
Try to avoid operations such as shuttle search or field
advance playback as much as possible. These put a
comparatively high stress load on the tape and can lead
to picture degradation over time.

If the VCR is in any other play mode, the Still mode is engaged.
: Reverses the tape by one field when the VCR is in the Still mode and engages the Still mode.
If the VCR is in any other play mode, the Still mode is engaged.
: Engages REC CHECK. (function is the same as when locally controlled on the VCR.)
(11) F-FIELD STEP (ADH)
(12) R-FIELD STEP (AEH)
(13) REC CHECK (C1H)
Before transmitting either of the following commands ((14) or (15)), first transmit REC/DUB REQUEST (FAH), and confirm that “ACK” (0AH) is
returned by the VCR.
(14) REC (CAH)
: Starts recording. The VCR returns “ACK” (0AH).
If the cassette tape’s safety tab [REC TAB] has been removed, NAC (0BH) is returned.
• When REC PAUSE (FAH + CBH) is sent in the Record mode, the Record-Pause mode is
engaged.
• When STOP (3FH) is sent in the Record mode, the Stop mode is engaged.
: Engages Record-Pause mode. The VCR returns “ACK” (0AH).
If the cassette tape’s safety tab has been removed, NAC (0BH) is returned.
• To re-start recording, transmit REC (FAH+CAH).
(15) REC PAUSE (CBH)
• To cancel Record-Pause, transmit STOP (3FH). The VCR will enter the Stop mode.
After transmitting commands VISS FWD (16) or VISS REV (17), transmit the appropriate numeric data (1-byte ASCII codes from 30H to 39H)
and the data input command (40H).
ASCII codes “30H – 39H” correspond with the numbers “0 – 9” (ie.: 0: 30H, 1: 31H, ... 9: 39H).
Each byte of numeric data and the data input command should be transmitted separately with “ACK” (0AH) confirmation from the VCR after
each transmission. * Transmit the commands (16) and (17) in the Stop mode.
(16) VISS FWD (B0H)
(17) VISS REV (B1H)
: To advance the tape in the forward search mode to the designated alarm-input point. The alarm
point’s 2-byte numeric data should be input after transmission of this command.
: To reverse the tape in the reverse search mode to the designated alarm-input point. The alarm
point’s 2-byte numeric data should be input after transmission of this command.
Eg: To search for the 3rd alarm-input point from the current position.

4 Others (Input data correction/Error cancellation)
These are return codes from the SR-9090U. (Error-related codes only)
(1) ERROR (02H)
: This is returned when commands of more than 1 byte are transmitted to the VCR and an illegal command is
received in the 2nd byte (or later) of the transmitted command.
In this status, no command can be accepted and only STATUS SENSE will be returned.
To restore normal operation, transmit CLEAR ERROR (41H) or CLEAR (56H) to the VCR.
CLEAR ERROR (41H) : Used to cancel previously-transmitted 1-byte numeric data when inputting
numeric data such as search point. Also used to cancel error status.
CLEAR (56H)
: Clears the whole command. Cancels the current status and stops the VCR. Also
cancels the error status.
Eg : After setting the recording/playback mode to “L24H”, 32H is mistakenly transmitted . Cancel 32H with
“41H” and input “33H” instead.
