Recording
This VCR unit can operate in various different
recording modes:
- Manual
- Timer-activated
- Controlled by an external signal
- Alarm-activated
- Activated by other VCR units (recording in series)
- Automatic rewind and restart when tape runs out
Selection of an appropriate recording mode is
normally carried out by the user of the system, with
the recorder programmed as required or configured
to run from an external signal source. For further
information, please refer to the sections entitled
Installation
(page 18 onwards) and
Programming
(page 22 onwards).
Manual recording
You can start the manual recording function at any
time, provided the machine is loaded with an unpro-
tected cassette.
Note
Recording may not begin immediately if
you set the tape running time to “00”. The
actual reaction of the video recorder
depends on how it has been programmed
(see page 25).
- Activate the video recorder and monitor, if not
already done.
- If not yet done, open the flap on the front of the
recorder and press the arrow keys marked REC/
PLAY HOURS to select the tape running speed
for recording. The tape running time will now
appear on the display (e.g. “24H”).
- Press the REC button. Recording will now begin,
and îRECî will appear on the display.
- Press the P/STILL button to pause the recording.
- If you wish to check for correct functioning, press
the PLAY button while recording is taking place to
display the previous few seconds of recorded
tape. The system will then return automatically to
normal recording.
- Press the STOP button to cancel the recording
function.
Note
The record-pause function shuts down
automatically and stops the tape after five
minutes to prevent excessive wear to the
recording head and tape.
