(*1): Without an alarm trigger input and an one-shot trigger input.
• The possible recording time depends on the type of video tape used.
• Audio recording is possible in the A2, A6, A12, A18 and A24 hour modes.
• The A12, A24, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 168 modes are time lapse modes.
• For one-shot recording, set the VCR in the L01, L02 or L03 record mode.
• In L01, L02 or L03 modes, the VCR is set to recording pause mode. The alarm recording starts by an alarm trigger signal
input, and the VCR is set to recording pause mode again to wait for next alarm trigger input. Also the one-shot recording starts
by an one-shot trigger signal input, and the VCR is set to recording pause mode again to wait for next one-shot trigger input.
When recording pause mode continues for appointed time (L01: 1 min, L02: 2 min, L03: 3 min.) without an alarm trigger and
an one-shot trigger input, the VCR forwards the tape 2 fields with recording to protect the tape and the video head from
damage.

HOW TO OPERATE 24 HOUR VIRTUAL REAL TIME MODE
• In order to operate 24 hour virtual real time mode, please use T-160 VHS video tape with A18 record mode. A18 mode means
that T-120 tape will run 18 hours. However, if you use longer length of video tape which is T-160, it will record up to 24 hours
with A18 mode. Also, when you use A18 mode for recording, you will get 20 fields of video information per second, A24 mode
will be less than 5 fileds video information per second. (Refer to the above chart for the details.)
• When using the T-160 tape, it will be necessary to replace the tape with new one and make a cleaning of the mechanical deck
of this VCR more frequently. Because, the thickness of T-160 tape is about 3/4 of T-120 tape, so durability, mechanical
strength, etc. of the tape are inferior to T-120 tape.
