PRECAUTIONS
Location
Moisture Condensation Problems
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator
(À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,
damage may result.
œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ Avoid dusty or humid places.
œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of
the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because
this will block the ventilation holes.
Prevention:
1 Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready
for operation.
œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot
locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this
page).
œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service center.
œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
Use only video cassette tapes bearing the VHS logo.
Loading
This VCR was primarily designed for use with T-120 and
T-160 cassette tapes. It is recommended that you use
T-120 or T-160 standard grade VHS video cassette
tapes for optimal performance.
1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.
Gently push the center of the cassette until it is
loaded automatically.
NOTE:
œ If using longer tapes (i.e. T-180) the tape travel will
not be as stable and that may cause problems.
Handling Cassette Tapes
The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically in
their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic
fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to
mold formation.
ø The time display will switch to the reset counter
“0:00:00” display.
ø The cassette indicator “o” lights on the digital
display.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never
touch the tape with your fingers.
NOTE:
œ If you try to record on a cassette without an
erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the
cassette.
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks and strong
vibrations.
To Protect your Recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the
recording, use a flat-tripped screwdriver to break off the
erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.
Unloading
1 In stop mode, press the EJECT button.
ø The cassette is automatically ejected.
To record again on a tape without an erasure-prevention
tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.
NOTES:
œ Do not insert any other object in the cassette loading
slot, as that may cause injury and damage to the VCR.
œ If your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot,
unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where
the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull your hand out
as that may cause severe injuries.
Erasure-prevention tab
Precautions concerning the video
cassette tapes
œ Do not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have
been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered
in any way.
œ Some rewinders may tangle the tape, and therefore
their use is not recommended.
œ When tapes are recorded over and over again, the
recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning
the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on”
on page 21, and replace the tape with a new tape as
required.

TAPE MANAGEMENT
This VCR is equipped with a tape management function.
Using this function you can protect previous recordings
and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape
protection term (number of days), the maximum number
of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. For
details on how to set this function, refer to “Setting the
Tape Management Function”.
If tape management data is present on the tape
The tape management data is checked and if there is no
conflict, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning,
then recording starts and the updated tape management
data is recorded onto the tape. The message “T.
MANAGE. OK” appears on-screen while the tape is
being rewound and the tape management data is being
recorded.
PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the
tape can be rerecorded over.
If a conflict is found when the tape management data
is checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is
displayed and the conflicting setting will flash. This
menu will show the settings taken from the data
recorded on the tape and not the current data settings
held in the VCR’s (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu
setting. Refer to “Tape Management Conflict Display”
for detailed information.
REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings,
in order to maintain a good image
quality.
GROUP NO. SET: To manage tapes belonging to
different recording groups.
NOTES:
œ Before using this function, make sure that the clock is
NOTE:
set properly.
œ If the VCR is set for alarm recordings, alarms will be
recorded based on the different settings.
œ To use the tape management function, it must be set
before recording is started.
If an alarm signal is input while “T. MANAGE. CHK” is
displayed, the alarms will be recorded after feeding a
certain amount of tape but the data will not be
recorded (updated).
œ The tape management data is recorded at the
beginning of the tape.
Operation
If an alarm signal is input during data recording, the
alarms will be recorded after data recording.
When the REC button is pressed, the VCR will rewind
the tape to the beginning, and will play back some of the
tape to check for the presence of tape management data
(no image appears). The message “T. MANAGE. CHK”
appears on-screen while the presence and type of data
are being checked.
NOTE:
œ When performing program timer recording, single
image recording and alarm recording, the tape
management function will not operate even if it is
active.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If no tape management data is present on the
tape
œ If the tape management data cannot be read, the
VCR will switch to stop mode and “DATA NG” will
be displayed on-screen.
Recording will start according to the settings in the
(TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu.
This may indicate that the beginning of the tape
(data recording/reading section) is damaged and
the tape may be unusable.
The message “DATA NG” will disappear when the
EJECT or PLAY button is pressed.
When recording starts, the updated tape
management data is recorded onto the tape.
If the tape has already been recorded on, the
message “USED TAPE” will flash on-screen until
recording starts.
œ Set the security lock function to on in order to
protect the security of this feature.

MAINTENANCE
Daily Inspection
Periodic Inspection
The following daily inspections are recommended in
order to assure long-term and trouble-free operation of
the unit.
Periodic inspection and maintenance should be referred
to your dealer.
If there is noise in the playback picture, and it cannot be
corrected using the tracking control, it may indicated that
the video heads need cleaning.
The daily inspections are particularly important if using
autorepeat recording.
Soiling is unlikely, thanks to the automatic head cleaning
function, but due to factors such as the use of poor
quality tape and the usage environment the heads could
become dirty in a short time.
Inspection Procedure
1 Turn on the power to the VCR, camera, TV monitor
and other connected devices.
The video heads should be inspected every 1,000 hours
of use to determine if they need to be replaced.
2 Check that the image received on the TV monitor is
correct.
The video heads usage can be checked using the
(POWER FAILURE/DEW/USED TIME) menu.
3 Check that the on-screen display of the date and
time is correct.
4 To check the recording condition of the previous
Cabinet Cleaning
day, rewind the recorded tape a few seconds.
Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean, soft cloth,
moistened with lukewarm water and wrung dry.
5 Press the PLAY button and check that the playback
image is correct.
6 Check that the recorded date and time are correct.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR OTHER TYPES OF
CLEANERS. THESE CHEMICALS CAN CRACK OR
DISCOLOR THE CABINET.
NOTES:
œ If the security lock is engaged, it has to be released
before proceeding to the inspection.
About the Backup Battery
œ If any problem is discovered during the inspection,
The date and time settings are maintained for up to 30
days by a rechargeable lithium battery that is fully
charged after the VCR has been connected to a power
source for 48 hours or more.
unplug the power cord then consult your dealer.
Depending on the battery usage it may become
necessary to change it. For replacement and disposal of
the old battery, please contact your dealer.
After the battery has been replaced, press the ALL
RESET button, then enter all the time, date, etc. settings
as required.
Automatic Head Cleaning Function
œ Whenever a video cassette is loaded or ejected, the
video heads are automatically cleaned.
œ During autorepeat recording, the video heads are
automatically cleaned when the tape reaches the end.
