External timer recording operations
O
Check that a video cassette with its tab intact has
been inserted.
Set the TIMER MODE switch to EXT TIMER so that
EXT lights on the display. At the set time, power is
supplied from the external timer and the unit is set
to the recording mode.
• If the video cassette tape has not been inserted or if its accidental erasure prevention tab has been broken, EXT will
flash on the display, and external timer recording cannot be conducted.
• Since it takes some moments for recording to start, set the start time for timer recording one minute earlier.
• Depending on the tape position, some of the images at the start of the external timer recording may not be recorded
or may record over the images at the end of the previous external timer recording.
Auto Repeat Recording/Auto Rewinding______

recording mode, and it repeats recording from the start of the tape.
Auto rewinding: This function automatically rewinds the tape to the start when the tape end is detected in the

Notes of operation
• When auto repeat recording is to be performed, do not neglect the routine inspections. Since the image deteriorates
when the same tape is used over and over again for auto repeat recording, replace the tape with a new one after
about 50 recordings. When the tape is removed and then reinserted, the number changes to 01.
• Alarm signals are not accepted during auto rewinding, and so alarm recording is not performed.
• If an alarm signal is supplied during auto repeat recording, the alarm recording mode is established. If the tape then
reaches its end, auto repeat recording is performed but alarm recording is released.
• If TAPE END on Menu Screen 4 has been set to REPEAT, use a DURATION other than MANUAL,
•
When the power cord has come out of the socket or a power failure has occurred, no operations will be
acknowledged for about 30 seconds after the power has been restored: this is to protect the tape.
