Locking The Record Mode - Security Lock Function - Sony SVT-RA168 Manual De Instrucciones

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 40).
There is about a 10-second delay before the VCR actually
starts recording when REC z is pressed.
• This VCR is provided with a clog detection function. In
time lapse mode, if recording is not made properly, the
recording indicator will flash on the display window 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 on the ALARM SET menu and/or
TAPE USED COUNT on 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, "<AL DATA REC>" and/or "<T-
USED COUNT>" appears on the monitor screen.
• While both TAPE USED COUNT and ALARM DATA
lists 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 lists).
• In the recording or recording pause mode, if the VIDEO
input signal interrupted, the screen of the monitor becomes
blue and "VIDEO LOSS" appears on the monitor.
