mode only)
Set the COUNTER/REAL TIME switch to REAL
TIME. The real time will be displayed in the display
window. In playback mode, the display shows the tape
counter regardless of the switch position.
Notes
• Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording,
Adaptive Picture Control (APC) automatically improves
recording quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of
the video heads and tape. To activate this function, set
APC in the GENERAL SET menu to ON (see page 39
(GB)). There is about a 10-second delay before the VCR
actually starts recording when REC z is pressed. ("APC"
appears in the display window and on the monitor screen.)
• This VCR is provided with a clog detection function. In
time lapse mode, if recording is not made properly, and a
warning signal will be output from the WARNING OUT
terminal. In this case, stop recording immediately and
check the VCR.
• If ALARM DATA REC in the ALARM SET menu and/or
TAPE USED COUNT in the GENERAL SET menu is set
to ON, the VCR will rewind the tape and recording will
start from the beginning of the tape. While the VCR is
rewinding the tape, "<ALARM DATA REC>" and/or
"<TAPE USED COUNT>" appears on the monitor screen.
• While both TAPE USED COUNT and ALARM DATA
list are being recorded, the REC indicator in the display
window lights up (in this case, the REC indicator goes out
momentarily between TAPE USED COUNT and ALARM
DATA list).
• When the main head clogs up during recording, it is
replaced automatically by the sub head and the recording
continues. In this case, the SUB indicator will light on the
display window.
