Timer Recording
The unit can be made to record using an external timer to turn on its power.
External Timer Recording
If the video cassette tape has not been inserted or if its accidental erasure prevention tab has been broken,
EXT will flash on the display, and external timer recording cannot be conducted.
Since it takes some moments for recording to start, set the start time for timer recording one minute earlier.
Depending on the tape position, some of the images at the start of the external timer recording may not be
recorded or may record over the images at the end of the previous external timer recording.

When 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.
Alarm signals are not accepted during auto rewinding, and so alarm recording is not performed.
If 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.
When 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.
