PRECAUTIONS

Location

Moisture Condensation Problems

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your

VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place

for its installation:

Cause:

When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area

to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,

dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator

(À) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,

damage may result.

œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from

sources of intense heat.

œ Avoid dusty or humid places.

œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper

heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of

the VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because

this will block the ventilation holes.

Prevention:

1 Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.

When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew

indicator (À) will turn off and the VCR will be ready

for operation.

œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.

œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot

locations (see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this

page).

œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this

may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it

from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power

cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a

factory-authorized service center.

œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES

Use only video cassette tapes bearing the VHS logo.

This VCR was primarily designed for use with T-120 and

T-160 cassette tapes. It is recommended that you use

T-120 or T-160 standard grade VHS video cassette

tapes for optimal performance.

1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.

Gently push the center of the cassette until it is

loaded automatically.

NOTE:

œ If using longer tapes (i.e. T-180) the tape travel will

not be as stable and that may cause problems.

Handling Cassette Tapes

The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically in

their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic

fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to

mold formation.

ø The time display will switch to the reset counter

“0:00:00” display.

ø The cassette indicator “o” lights on the digital

display.

Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never

touch the tape with your fingers.

NOTE:

œ If you try to record on a cassette without an

erasure-prevention tab, the VCR will eject the

cassette.

Protect the cassette tapes from shocks and strong

vibrations.

To Protect your Recordings

After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the

recording, use a flat-tripped screwdriver to break off the

erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.

Unloading

1 In stop mode, press the EJECT button.

ø The cassette is automatically ejected.

To record again on a tape without an erasure-prevention

tab, cover the hole with adhesive tape.

NOTES:

œ Do not insert any other object in the cassette loading

slot, as that may cause injury and damage to the VCR.

œ If your hand gets stuck in the cassette loading slot,

unplug the power cord and consult the dealer where

the unit was bought. Do not forcibly pull your hand out

as that may cause severe injuries.

Erasure-prevention tab

Precautions concerning the video

cassette tapes

œ Do not use tapes that are damaged, tapes that have

been cut and repaired or tapes that have been altered

in any way.

œ Some rewinders may tangle the tape, and therefore

their use is not recommended.

œ When tapes are recorded over and over again, the

recording quality will deteriorate. Refer to “Concerning

the Number of Times Tapes can be Rerecorded on”

on page 21, and replace the tape with a new tape as

required.

TAPE MANAGEMENT

This VCR is equipped with a tape management function.

Using this function you can protect previous recordings

and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape

protection term (number of days), the maximum number

of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. For

details on how to set this function, refer to “Setting the

Tape Management Function”.

If tape management data is present on the tape

The tape management data is checked and if there is no

conflict, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning,

then recording starts and the updated tape management

data is recorded onto the tape. The message “T.

MANAGE. OK” appears on-screen while the tape is

being rewound and the tape management data is being

recorded.

PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the

tape can be rerecorded over.

If a conflict is found when the tape management data

is checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is

displayed and the conflicting setting will flash. This

menu will show the settings taken from the data

recorded on the tape and not the current data settings

held in the VCR’s (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu

setting. Refer to “Tape Management Conflict Display”

for detailed information.

REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings,

in order to maintain a good image

quality.

GROUP NO. SET: To manage tapes belonging to

different recording groups.

NOTES:

œ Before using this function, make sure that the clock is

set properly.

œ If the VCR is set for alarm recordings, alarms will be

recorded based on the different settings.

œ To use the tape management function, it must be set

before recording is started.

If an alarm signal is input while “T. MANAGE. CHK” is

displayed, the alarms will be recorded after feeding a

certain amount of tape but the data will not be

recorded (updated).

œ The tape management data is recorded at the

beginning of the tape.

Operation

If an alarm signal is input during data recording, the

alarms will be recorded after data recording.

When the REC button is pressed, the VCR will rewind

the tape to the beginning, and will play back some of the

tape to check for the presence of tape management data

(no image appears). The message “T. MANAGE. CHK”

appears on-screen while the presence and type of data

are being checked.

NOTE:

œ When performing program timer recording, single

image recording and alarm recording, the tape

management function will not operate even if it is

active.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If no tape management data is present on the

tape

œ If the tape management data cannot be read, the

VCR will switch to stop mode and “DATA NG” will

be displayed on-screen.

Recording will start according to the settings in the

(TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu.

This may indicate that the beginning of the tape

(data recording/reading section) is damaged and

the tape may be unusable.

The message “DATA NG” will disappear when the

EJECT or PLAY button is pressed.

When recording starts, the updated tape

management data is recorded onto the tape.

If the tape has already been recorded on, the

message “USED TAPE” will flash on-screen until

MAINTENANCE

Daily Inspection

Periodic Inspection

The following daily inspections are recommended in

order to assure long-term and trouble-free operation of

the unit.

Periodic inspection and maintenance should be referred

to your dealer.

If there is noise in the playback picture, and it cannot be

corrected using the tracking control, it may indicated that

the video heads need cleaning.

The daily inspections are particularly important if using

autorepeat recording.

Soiling is unlikely, thanks to the automatic head cleaning

function, but due to factors such as the use of poor

quality tape and the usage environment the heads could

become dirty in a short time.

Inspection Procedure

1 Turn on the power to the VCR, camera, TV monitor

and other connected devices.

The video heads should be inspected every 1,000 hours

of use to determine if they need to be replaced.

2 Check that the image received on the TV monitor is

correct.

The video heads usage can be checked using the

(POWER FAILURE/DEW/USED TIME) menu.

3 Check that the on-screen display of the date and

time is correct.

4 To check the recording condition of the previous

Cabinet Cleaning

day, rewind the recorded tape a few seconds.

Clean the outside of the cabinet with a clean, soft cloth,

moistened with lukewarm water and wrung dry.

5 Press the PLAY button and check that the playback

image is correct.

6 Check that the recorded date and time are correct.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR OTHER TYPES OF

CLEANERS. THESE CHEMICALS CAN CRACK OR

DISCOLOR THE CABINET.

NOTES:

œ If the security lock is engaged, it has to be released

before proceeding to the inspection.

About the Backup Battery

œ If any problem is discovered during the inspection,

The date and time settings are maintained for up to 30

days by a rechargeable lithium battery that is fully

charged after the VCR has been connected to a power

source for 48 hours or more.

unplug the power cord then consult your dealer.

Depending on the battery usage it may become

necessary to change it. For replacement and disposal of

the old battery, please contact your dealer.

After the battery has been replaced, press the ALL

RESET button, then enter all the time, date, etc. settings

as required.

Automatic Head Cleaning Function

œ Whenever a video cassette is loaded or ejected, the

video heads are automatically cleaned.

œ During autorepeat recording, the video heads are

automatically cleaned when the tape reaches the end.

For places with symbols such as E (k) and F (k), carry out checking and cleaning, and replace if necessary.

This periodic maintenance check table changes considerably according to the using conditions and environment.

Refer to the (POWER FAILURE/DEW/USED TIME) menu for the length of time the unit has been used.

As the life of parts may be shortened if foreign particles and dusts remain accumulated on the tape guides and rotating and contacting portions,

clean if dirty.

Dusts and other foreign particles on the tape guides may also shorten the tape life and lower picture quality, therefore clean thoroughly.
