5Automatic recording check function

This unit is provided with an automatic recording check function which automatically determines whether or not recording is satisfactory at the tape beginning in repeat recording.

•To activate the automatic recording check function, set the <AUTO REC CHECK> menu switch in <VTR MODE> to “ON”.

5Operation of the automatic recording check function

•Recording is performed from the beginning of the tape for several seconds during repeat recording. Then the recorded section is automatically played back to check whether or not the signals have been recorded properly. If the recording is satisfactory, recording resumes.

•If the recording is unsatisfactory, the heads are cleaned automatically. Recording is restarted for several seconds and then the recording is checked again. If the recording is still unsatisfactory, the error code “E-09” is shown on the display and recording resumes.

Note:

•Continuous repeat recording over long periods may produce excessive wear and tear on the tape and VCR. Be sure to replace the tape periodically (refer to page 28).

*When repeat recording is executed, any previously executed alarm recordings will be erased.
