Notes of operation
YWhen auto repeat recording is to be performed, do not neglect the routine inspections. Since the image
deteriorates when the same tape is used over and over again for auto repeat recording, replace the tape with a
new one after about 50 recordings.
YAlarm signals are not accepted during auto rewinding, and so alarm recording is not performed.
YIf an alarm signal is supplied during auto repeat recording, the alarm recording mode is established. If the tape
then reaches its end, auto repeat recording is performed but alarm recording is released.
YWhen the power cord has come out of the socket or a power failure has occurred, no operations will be acknowl-
edged for about 30 seconds after the power has been restored: this is to protect the tape.
