S-VHS ET Mode—This mode, using VHS tape, has picture quality closer to S-VHS recording (over 400 lines).
High Density Recording - H·D<EP>–High density recording records three times more fields than normal density (SP). It reduces the time interval between pictures and makes for smoother time-lapse recording.
Tape Remaining Indicator–A bar indicator shows how much tape is left and/ or that the tape has approximately three minutes (in 2H mode) left.
Automatic Head Cleaning–The VCR automatically removes foreign matter from the heads when a cassette is inserted for continuous smooth operation.
Easy Setup Using A Monitor–The on-screen menus simplify setup program- ming. You can select these menus even without inputting a video signal.

Record Check–You can confirm correct recording by pressing the PLAY button during recording.
Automatic Head Azimuth Selection–The VCR can automatically select play- back heads for normal VHS-compatible time-lapse recordings, or older time-lapse recordings made using two same-azimuth video heads. Same-azimuth time-lapse recordings use VHS cassettes but cannot be played normally by VHS-compatible VCRs.
Special Playback Features–These include still images, speed search, re- verse playback, frame-by-frame viewing in both directions, slow-motion, and high- speed viewing.
JOG Dial/SHUTTLE Ring–You can use these controls to search for the desired image. You can adjust the playback speed with the SHUTTLE ring and search for an image frame-by-frame with the JOG dial.
Recording Options–This versatile system offers a variety of recording options, including daily and weekly timer recording, repeat, and alarm recording.
Protection Against Power Failures—Recording data (including date, time, and timer setup) is stored in backup memory, so the system can resume recording after a power failure. The monitor displays the time of the failure.
Digital <ELAPSED TIME> Display–The elapsed time of recording and play- back is stored in non-volatile memory. You can use the elapsed time display as a guide to when to do periodic maintenance.
Tape Use Counter–This counter displays how many times you have recorded on a tape. This helps you decide when you need to replace a tape.
