ALARM RECORDING
This VCR can automatically record at one of 8
speeds (09~240) on ALARM command.
There are two alarm inputs to ALARM (A) IN and
ALARM B IN for which the recording conditions are
different.
To program the ALARM function refer to page 19.
The remote/contact switch must be connected to the
VCR. See page 10.
To operate the ALARM recording in the stop mode:
follow the tape recording procedure, step 1, then
select “YES” of the ALARM READY menu in the
ALARM display.
Note: An alarm input to ALARM (A) IN has priority.
When an alarm is input to ALARM (A) IN when an
alarm is being input to ALARM B IN the input at
ALARM (A) IN is recorded. If an alarm is input to
ALARM B IN when an alarm input to ALARM (A) IN
is being recorded, the alarm at ALARM (A) IN
continues. If the alarm at ALARM B IN continues
after recording the alarm at ALARM (A) IN has
ended, the alarm at ALARM B IN will be recorded.

corded in the 09 mode at modes higher than 48.
— When the tape reaches the end, the unit auto-
matically rewinds to the beginning of the tape
and then goes to the STOP mode.
— If the monitor display exhibits distortion in the
upper part of the picture, adjust the horizontal
hold control on the monitor.
— Adjust the SLOW TRACKING control to minimize
noise when playing back at slow speed (more

noise at 27 mode. And in these modes TRACK-
ING control is not effective.

V.LOCK ADJUST
If the picture shakes up and down during still play-
back, adjust the picture by the following procedure.
1. Play back a tape, recorded in the 09 mode, in the
still playback mode.
• With some monitors, if the V.LOCK control is
adjusted when playing a tape recorded in
modes other than 09, shaking of the still pic-
ture may not stop.
2. Adjust the V.LOCK control so the shaking of the
picture stops.
Note: Shaking of the picture may not be stopped
completely depending on the monitor used.
