NOTES:

œDuring alarm recording all buttons are disabled.

œIf “OFF” is displayed on the digital display, alarm recording is not possible in order to prevent the recorded tape to be recorded over.

œIf an alarm trigger is received while alarm recording is in progress, recording duration for the second alarm will be calculated from that point. The alarm counter will register the alarm, but it will not be found during an alarm scan and alarm search.

œIf there is a power failure during alarm recording, and the power is restored within the recording set duration, alarm recording will continue.

œIf the alarm recording duration is short, the alarms may not be found during an alarm scan or an alarm search. If the alarms are going to be reviewed using alarm scan or alarm search, then in 12-hour mode,

60-second or more recording duration should be used.

œTo do alarm recording during series recording, set “ALARM RECORD MODE” to “Y1” or “Y3”. Alarm recording will be conducted only if the VCR is recording.
