SETUP (Continued)

SETTING THE ALARM

The ALARM function allows the user to set the recording duration, speed to be recorded and tape recycle for alarm recordings. When a contact clos- ure occurs at the ALARM B IN input, the VCR auto- matically enters the RECORD mode at the pre-pro- grammed ALARM recording speed. (See Alarm In, page 10 for a complete description of the ALARM sequence.) The ALARM recording duration can last according to the set value, or until the contact clos- ure is reopened.

The ALARM recording speed can be pre-pro- grammed to 09~240.

The checking signal is automatically recorded on the tape at the beginning of each ALARM recording. Later, you can easily locate the start of each record- ing by using these signals when watching a re- corded content. See “ALARM INDEX SEARCH” on page 23 for details.

See page 15 if you also want to record the date/time. The TIME/DATE display is set as follows during ALARM display.

—ALARM stars (✽) will replace the colons (:).

—The recording speed will be changed to 09~240 which was selected at the “SPEED” setting in the ALARM display.
