6-5 Sensor Recording
Sensor recording is executed only when the VCR is in the Stop mode (Stop, Timer Record Standby or Operating Off mode)
and an alarm signal is input to the rear panel’s ALARM IN terminal.
Perform the settings for sensor recording in the same way as for “Alarm Recording” on page 39.
The mechanism of the AG-TL950P cannot be guaranteed if the sensor recording function is used frequently (100 times/
day or more).
6 RECORDING
Preparation Connect an alarm sensor to the rear panel’s alarm input terminal.
1
Press the [POWER] button to turn the operating mode
on.

Open the main menu’s <ALARM/SENSOR MODE> and
set the sensor recording-related menu switches.
1 REC MODE
Set to “SENSOR” or “AL/SENSOR” to activate sensor
recording.
• When set to “AL/SENSOR”, both alarm recording
and sensor recording will be performed.
• The [SENSOR REC] indication lights on the display.
2 DURATION
Set the sensor recording duration to 5 sec., 10 sec.,
15 sec., 30 sec., 60 sec., 120 sec., 180 sec.,
CONTINUE (to tape end) or MANUAL (for as long as
alarm signals are input).
* The sensor recording time will be shorter than the
specified value.
* When the sensor recording time is set to
“MANUAL”, the alarm cue signal (index code) will
not be recorded correctly if sensor input lasts for
less than 5 seconds.
* When sensor recording duration is set with an
external switcher, set the sensor recording duration
to “MANUAL”.

TAPE END MODE
Selects whether or not the Stop mode is forcibly
engaged when the tape ends during sensor
recording.
• When set to “STOP”, the Stop mode is engaged at
tape end even if repeat recording or auto rewind is
set.
• When set to “OFF”, VCR operation is determined by
the repeat recording or auto rewind setting
3
Set the other menu switches.

Set the menu switch <AL/SENSOR IN> in
<BUZZER> to “ON” to sound the alarm buzzer during
sensor recording.

• When an alarm signal is input to the rear panel’s
[ALARM IN] terminal, recording starts automatically in
the specified recording mode (2H/6H/L12H/L18H/
L24H/24H/48H/NORMAL) and the “AL” indication is lit.
The “ALARM” indication is shown on screen.
• After the specified recording duration expires,
recording stops.
* As sensor recording starts from the Stop mode, it
takes several seconds before actual recording
starts.
6
To stop sensor recording and clear the “ALARM”
indication, press the [RESET/CANCEL] button.
• In this case, even if the menu switch <TAPE END
MODE> is set to “STOP”, the operation executed at
end of the tape is determined by the setting of the
<AUTO REW> or <REPEAT REC> menu switch in the
<VTR MODE> menu.
7
To release the Sensor Record mode, set the <REC
MODE> menu switch in <ALARM/SENSOR MODE> to
“OFF” or “ALARM”.
* During playback, there may be some noise or
picture distortion at the point where one sensor
recording stops and another starts. This is not a
malfunction.
* When a new alarm is input during sensor
recording, sensor recording restarts from that
point.
