TAPE MANAGEMENT

This VCR is equipped with a tape management function. Using this function you can protect previous recordings and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape protection term (number of days), the maximum number of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. For details on how to set this function, refer to “Setting the Tape Management Function”.

PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the tape can be rerecorded over.

REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings, in order to maintain a good image quality.

GROUP NO. SET: To manage tapes belonging to different recording groups.

NOTES:

œBefore using this function, make sure that the clock is set properly.

œTo use the tape management function, it must be set before recording is started.

œThe tape management data is recorded at the beginning of the tape.

Operation

When the REC button is pressed, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, and will play back some of the tape to check for the presence of tape management data (no image appears). The message “T. MANAGE. CHK” appears on-screen while the presence and type of data are being checked.

NOTE:

œWhen performing program timer recording, single image recording and alarm recording, the tape management function will not operate even if it is active.

If no tape management data is present on the tape

Recording will start according to the settings in the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu.

When recording starts, the updated tape management data is recorded onto the tape.

If the tape has already been recorded on, the message “USED TAPE” will flash on-screen until recording starts.

If tape management data is present on the tape

The tape management data is checked and if there is no conflict, the VCR will rewind the tape to the beginning, then recording starts and the updated tape management data is recorded onto the tape. The message “T. MANAGE. OK” appears on-screen while the tape is being rewound and the tape management data is being recorded.

If a conflict is found when the tape management data is checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is displayed and the conflicting setting will flash. This menu will show the settings taken from the data recorded on the tape and not the current data settings held in the VCR’s (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu setting. Refer to “Tape Management Conflict Display” for detailed information.

NOTE:

œIf the VCR is set for alarm recordings, alarms will be recorded based on the different settings.

If an alarm signal is input while “T. MANAGE. CHK” is displayed, the alarms will be recorded after feeding a certain amount of tape but the data will not be recorded (updated).

If an alarm signal is input during data recording, the alarms will be recorded after data recording.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

œIf the tape management data cannot be read, the VCR will switch to stop mode and “DATA NG” will be displayed on-screen.

This may indicate that the beginning of the tape (data recording/reading section) is damaged and the tape may be unusable.

The message “DATA NG” will disappear when the EJECT or PLAY button is pressed.

œSet the security lock function to on in order to protect the security of this feature.
