OPERATION (Continued)

PLAYBACK IN THE FIELD ADVANCE/REVERSE MODES

When you press the FIELD ADVANCE or FIELD REVERSE button during still playback mode, one field at a time can be seen.

Operates only after STILL button has been pressed.

Notes:

An AUTO-PROTECT circuit automatically returns the unit to the STOP mode if the STILL or PLAY button is not pressed again or if FIELD ADVANCE or FIELD REVERSE button is not pressed in any five minute period.

When the FIELD REVERSE button is pressed in the still playback mode to set the VCR to the field reverse mode, the first several frame images may be distorted.

VISUAL SEARCH (High Speed Scan)

Note: The visual search function allows the re- corded material to be reviewed at 3, 5, 7 or 9 times the 09 hour speed mode.

1.Press the PLAY button.

2.Press the SEARCH (F.FWD) button to select the VISUAL SEARCH FORWARD mode, or press the SEARCH (REWIND) button to select the VISUAL SEARCH REVERSE mode.

3.Press the PLAY button again to resume normal playback.

Notes:

The visual search speed can be changed using the SELECTION MENU 1 screen.

The playback picture will have some noise in the visual search mode.

ALARM INDEX SEARCH

The alarm index search method causes electronic “marks” to be recorded on the tape at each point when the ALARM recording begins.

Later, the VCR can find these “marks” automatically, making it easy to find the beginning of each alarm for playback.

These check points are permanent until the tape is erased. A check mark is recorded automatically each time the VCR starts ALARM recording.

1.Press the PLAY button to start playback.

2.Press the ALARM INDEX button.

3.Press the REW or F.FWD button. The recorder enters VISUAL SEARCH mode.

4.When the VCR finds a mark, it enters normal playback mode.

5.Press REW or F.FWD button again to find next “marked” recording. The recorder advances tape to the next marked position.

6.Press the ALARM INDEX button again to release alarm index search.

Notes:

1.If another alarm comes through ALARM (A) IN when the alarm at ALARM B IN is being re- corded, an electronic “mark” is written on the tape. However, an alarm at ALARM B IN is not accepted when an alarm is being input to ALARM

(A) IN, so an electronic “mark” is not written on the tape with this ALARM B input.

2.Be careful as no alarm input can be detected for 5 seconds immediately after the visual search mode is entered by pressing the REW or F.FWD button during the alarm index search mode.

3.When tapes recorded by other VCRs are played in the alarm index search mode, the VCR may enter the play mode in a meaningless position.

4.When you have selected “MANUAL” at the DURATION setting in the ALARM display, and the duration of an alarm recording is shorter than the values shown below, “marks” may not be detected.
