It is possible to compute the remaining time for T-120, T-90, T-60 and T-30 tape. The display will not be correct for other kinds of  
tape.

• When the error code “E-1” to “E-4” are  
displayed, consult with your dealer.  
• When the error code “E-5” is displayed,  
the tape is cut. Replace with a new tape.  
• Regarding the error code “E-6” Display  
Head clog.  
Dew condensation.  
When recording in time mode SP120 and SP168 hours, 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 and the HED display blinks on the monitor although recording continues. In such a case,  
cleaning of the video heads is required.

(*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.  
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.

Notes:  
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  
mode to protect the video tape and heads.  
Repeat recording, restart recording, alarm recording, etc. also operate during recording.  
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  
approximately 10 days.  
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.

Note:  
When a power failure occurs (10 days or less in duration) during recording or timer recording, the VCR resumes automatically to

When the power is recovered after more than 10 days have passed, the tape remains at the position where it stopped when the  
power failure occurred.

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.)  
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.  
Alarm input

Recording pause  
Stop

Recording pause  
Stop  
SPA2, EPA6, SPA12,  
EPA18, SPA24 mode  
Alarm Recording  
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.  
Event Recording  
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.  
Warning at Alarm Recording  
When an alarm signal is input, the buzzer sounds and the alarm display on the VCR DISPLAY lights.  
Alarm display lights and then blinks when alarm recording is finished.

What is condensation?  
Times when condensation occurs.  
If you pour cold beer in a glass, water droplets gather on  
the surface of the glass. This phenomenon is known as  
condensation.  
• When the video device has been suddenly transferred  
from a cold place to a warm place.  
• When using the device in a room where the heating has  
just been turned on or exposed directly to the cold air  
from an air conditioner.  
When the device is suddenly transported from an air-  
conditioned room or vehicle to a place with high tempera-  
ture and humidity in summer.  
When condensation occurs.  
If you continue to use the video device in this state, the  
tape will cling to the internal parts of the VCR, causing  
damage to the tape and video heads.  
• When used in a room with high humidity where steam is  
rising, for example.

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.  
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.
