SETUP (Continued)
SETTING THE ALARM
The ALARM function allows the user to set the
recording duration, speed to be recorded and tape
recycle for alarm recordings. When a contact clos-
ure occurs at the ALARM IN input, the VCR auto-
matically enters the RECORD mode at the pre-pro-
grammed ALARM recording speed. (See Alarm In,
page 10 for a complete description of the ALARM
sequence.) The ALARM recording duration can last
according to the set value, or until the contact clos-
ure is reopened.
The ALARM recording speed can be pre-pro-
grammed to 08, 24 or 40.
The checking signal is automatically recorded on the
tape at the beginning of each ALARM recording.
Later, you can easily locate the start of each record-
ing by using these signals when watching a re-
corded content. See “ALARM INDEX SEARCH” on
page 23 for details.
See page 14 if you also want to record the date/time.
The TIME/DATE display is set as follows during
ALARM display.
— ALARM stars (✽) will replace the colons (:).
— The recording speed will be changed to 08, 24 or
40 which was selected from the “SPEED” setting
in the ALARM display.
Notes:
• When the ALARM recording ends, the VCR will
return to the status it was in before the alarm was
input.
