JVC VR-509E - Manual (Page 109)

109
Explanations
The VR-509 makes use of Time Zone to perform automatic
switching for Summer Time and Winter Time.
* The starting/ending time of Summer Time may differ from the
actual time in your local area.
1. Changing the Time Zone
After changing the Time Zone during operations, make sure
to format all the hard disks. If the hard disk is not formatted
after changing the Time Zone, the following problems will
arise.
• During playback on the main unit or a web browser, the
time display will be different from the actual recorded
time.
• The Alarm List will be different from the actual recorded
time.
• The list for the DVD-R/RW copy will be different from the
actual recorded time.
2. Changing the time
The Summer Time time change will be performed
automatically according to the setting value of the selected
area in [TIME ZONE] setting. On the day when switching
from Summer time to Winter time, there is a duplicated period
where the same time will be reached twice. During this
period, do not amend the date/time setting (Menu/RS-232C/
Front Display) and clock reset (rear terminal/Front Panel).
3. Searching
For the Alarm List of the duplicated period of Summer/
Winter Time, the data will be displayed in the order the
actual recording time starts.
On the day when switching from Winter time to Summer
time, there are certain times that do not exist. Do not
perform [SEARCH DATE] for these times.
When searching for images recorded during the duplicated
period on the day when switching from Summer time to
Winter time, two images with the same time will exist. The
operation of the various searches is shown below.
1) [SEARCH DATE] in the [EVENT SEARCH] menu on the
main unit
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, search using
the jog/shuttle dial or [SKIP] buttons after performing
[SEARCH DATE].
2) [ALARM LIST SEARCH] in the [EVENT SEARCH]
menu on the main unit
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, search using
the jog dial or [SKIP] buttons.
3) Search using the web browser
It will search for Winter Time. When searching for the
“Summer Time” of the duplicated period, specify the
starting time at an earlier period before the duplicated
period to search.
4. Playback
1) Playback using the main unit
When playing back recordings that straddle the Summer
and Winter Time, the playback time (date/time displayed
on the OSD) of this portion may differ from the actual time.
2) Playback using the web browser
When playing back recordings that straddle Summer
and Winter Time, the ending time and the clock counter
displayed may differ from the actual time.
5. Timer Programming
When the time changes from Summer to Winter or vice
versa during TIMER REC, the recording will be divided and
recorded as a different event at the changing point. In
addition, a few seconds will not be recorded at the changing
point.
Do not set the starting/ending time within the duplicated
period (2 hours) or within the skipped period (1 hour) on the
day when switching from summer time to winter time or vice
versa.
If the times for both the starting time and ending time are set
within skipped period when switching from winter time to
summer time on the weekly timer, 24-hour recording will
only be performed after switching from winter time to
summer time.
6. DVD-R/RW COPY
1) Selecting the data list of the DVD-R/RW
• The specified starting time search of the Summer/Winter
duplicated period will be searched as Winter Time.
• For the data list of the DVD-R/RW of Summer/Winter
duplicated period, the data will be displayed in the order
of the actual recording start time.
• On the day when switching from Winter Time to Summer
Time, there are certain times that do not exist. Do not
perform specified starting time search for these times.
2) Cutting of the DVD-R/RW record
• The starting/ending time of the data crossing the
Summer and Winter cannot be changed. When copying,
the original starting/ending time will be copied.
7. PC environment settings
When searching or playing back from the web browser, set
the PC TIME ZONE setting to the same as the VR-509
[TIME ZONE] setting.
8. The alarm list for mail notification
• For the message content of the mail notification, the local
time will be recorded.
• When duplicated times are recorded due to Summer
Time, to differentiate the message recorded in Summer
Time or Winter Time, check the time sent stated on the
mail header.
