DAY/TIME SEARCH
Day/Time Search
This searches for a specified day/time for still images to
be played back.
1 Press the SEARCH button three times during stop
mode.
ø “T/D SEARCH 01 00:00” will be displayed on
screen.
2 Press the REC/PLAY SPEED l (or j ) button to set
the desired day, then press the SHIFT « button.
3 Press the REC/PLAY SPEED l (or j ) button to set
the desired hour, then press the SHIFT « button.
4 Press the REC/PLAY SPEED l (or j ) button to set
the desired minutes.
NOTES:
œ The setting can be made in 10 minutes
increments only.
œ For recordings made on other VCRs, the exact
time may not be found even if the minutes are
entered. For tapes recorded on older models of
VCRs produced by this company (the ones
without a minutes setting for the day/time search
function), make sure to set the minutes to “00”.
5 Turn the SHUTTLE ring clockwise (or
counterclockwise).
ø The desired day/time is searched and a still
image of the recording will appear on-screen.
6 Press the PLAY button.
ø Playback will start.
NOTES:
œ If the end of the tape is reached during a search, the
tape will rewind and stop. If the beginning of the tape
is reached, it will stop.
œ The alarm and day/time data are recorded on the tape
in a similar format. If they overlap, the alarm data will
have the priority. Therefore, when searching for a
day/time when an alarm recording was done, the
day/time search will not stop at the desired location. In
such a case, use alarm scan to find the desired
recording location.
œ The day/time search function may not operate
correctly if searching for a timer recording time or if
the clock on the recording VCR has been adjusted
using the CLOCK ADJUSTMENT function.
œ If the recording has been made in 320-hour (or when
the “TAPE” in (GENERAL SET) menu is set to
“T-120”, in 240-hour) or more mode, the day/time
search with a minutes setting (see step
4 above) will
not operate. When using the day/time search function
on such a recording, set the minutes (see step
4
above) to “00”.
œ If a recording on a tape extends for over a one month
period, the same day may be present twice on the
tape. If such a day is searched, since there is no
month search setting, the desired day may not be
found.
œ This function does not operate when a warning
display appears on the digital display.
TAPE COUNTER
Using the counter, it is easy to find a desired recording.
1 Press the COUNTER RESET button, at the
beginning of the desired recording.
ø The counter will be reset to “0H 00M 00S”.
2 Press the COUNTER MEMORY button.
ø “ [ ” appears on the digital display.
ø To cancel the counter memory function, press
the COUNTER MEMORY button a second time.
3 After recording or playback, turn the SHUTTLE ring
counterclockwise from stop mode.
ø The tape is rewound to the counter “0H 00M
00S” reading.
ø If you rewind the tape past the “0H 00M 00S”
position, turn the SHUTTLE ring clockwise.
NOTES:
œ There is no tape counter indication for the blank
portions of the tape.
œ In the 8-hour recording speed mode only, the tape
counter indicates real hours, minutes and seconds.
œ In the other recording speed modes, the tape counter
indication is a ratio of the 8-hour mode base
indication. (In 64-hour recording mode, each “second”
of the tape counter actually represents approximately
72/8 = 9 real seconds.)
œ There may be a slight discrepancy between the
position shown on the tape counter and the actual
tape position.
œ When rewinding the tape past the “0H 00M 00S”
position, a minus (–) sign will be displayed.
