Notes on operation
1. Bear in mind the following points when playing back parts of a tape recorded in a time lapse (L24H - 336H) mode.
When the tape is played back in the same mode, noise resembling dropouts will appear on the screen: this is not
indicative of malfunctioning.
The picture may oscillate in the vertical direction: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.
When a tape is played back in the same time mode, the picture may shake slightly sideways: this is not indicative of
malfunctioning.
Turn Quasi-V insertion ON ( ) or OFF ( ) with the FWD ADV button. Dancing can be minimized when a tape is played
back in a time lapse (except 3-, 6- or 9-hour) or linear slow mode. Moreover, playing back a tape in a system featuring a
frame switcher enables the appearance of the pictures of other cameras to be reduced.
2. Bear in mind the following points when playing back parts of a tape recorded using a time lapse VTR other than this unit.
When a tape is played back in a time lapse mode, slight noise may appear at the top and bottom of the screen: this is not
indicative of malfunctioning.
When the tape is played back in a time lapse mode (L24H - 336H), the picture may oscillate in the vertical direction: this is
not indicative of malfunction.
When a tape recorded in the 6-hour mode with another recorder is played back in a different mode, colour programmes
may be played back in black and white or distorted colour, but this is not a malfunction.
3. When noise has occurred during still-picture playback, press the FWD ADV button to play it out. (It may not always be
possible to play out the noise.)
4. If noise appears during playback, it may be reduced by selecting ON for the NOISE_B MASK setting on menu screen 4.
5. Bear in mind that if the power cable is disconnected and then re-connected or if the power has been restored after it has
failed when the tape was played with EXT indicated on the display by the TIMER MODE switch, the unit will automatically
be set from playback to the recording mode.
6. When the PAUSE/STILL button is pressed during playback, the unit is set to the pause mode, and a still picture will appear
on the monitor screen. To release this state, press the PAUSE/STILL button again or press the PLAY button. If the unit is
kept in the pause mode for more than 5 minutes, it will be set to the stop mode.
7. If the horizontal AFC on the TV monitor is too long or when a video camera with random interlace scanning has been
used, the top area of the TV monitor may be distorted: this is not indicative of malfunctioning.
8. Tapes recorded on this machine cannot be played back other VHS video recorder as they are not compatible.
9. When the power cord has come out of the socket or a power failure has occurred during fast forwarding or rewinding, no
operations will be acknowledged for about 30 seconds after the power has been restored: this is to protect the tape.
10. Recording is not possible in the 3H or 6H mode. Only normal playback is possible in these two modes.
11. Alarm search operation may not be possible depending on the alarm recording section near the beginning or end of the
tape.
