JVC SR-9168U appendix Sensor Recording, Recording mode setting screen, Beginning of the tape

7 RECORDING

7-5 Sensor Recording

Sensor recording is executed only when the VCR is in the Stop mode (Stop or Timer Record Standby mode) and an alarm signal is input to the rear panel’s ALARM IN terminal.

Perform the settings for sensor recording in the same way as for "Alarm Recording" on page 31.

The mechanism of the SR-9168U cannot be guaranteed if the sensor recording function is used frequently (100 times/day or more). If alarm inputs are frequent, use the alarm recording function instead and carry out regular maintenance/ inspection and parts replacement.
