Notes
• While alarm recording is in progress, other modes are
inoperable.
• After the alarm recording is completed, the VCR returns to
the condition it was in before the alarm signal was
received.
• If an alarm input is received while the VCR is in repeat
recording mode (see page 21), repeat recording stops and
the REPEAT indicator goes out. After the tape reaches the
end, the tape is rewound and the VCR stops. The OFF
indicator lights in the display window (only when
REPEAT 1 is selected for TAPE END MODE in the
GENERAL SET menu).
• When the OFF indicator lights, in order to prevent
accidental erasure of a recorded tape, timer recording and
alarm recording cannot be executed. However, if the VCR
is in series recording mode (see page 21), timer recording
and alarm recording will be executed even when OFF
indicator lights.
If any of REC z, FF M, REW m, PLAY B, STOP x
is pressed, the OFF indicator goes out.
• If another alarm is received while alarm recording is in
progress, the second alarm recording starts and the
recording duration is extended.
• If the power is interrupted while alarm recording is in
progress and restored again, the operation before the alarm
recording was made resumes.
• To stop alarm recording, short-circuit between the
ALARM RESET IN and COM terminals.
