When there is an alarm input in the STOP mode, a slight delay will occur in start of the alarm recording.
i 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.
i 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 SP L01, SP L02 or SP L03. In order to accomplish this press the time
mode button until “ SP L01”, “ SP L02” or “ SP L03” is shown.
If there is no alarm input present when in “ SP L01”, “ SP L02” or “ SP L03” mode, the VCR automatically forwards 2 fields with recording
every appointed time ( SP L01: 1min, SP L02: 2min, SP L03: 3min.) to protect the tape and the video head from damage.
