• Available recording time may vary depending on the type of cassette used.
• In the L12H and L24H Linear Slow mode, the tape runs continuously while sound is recorded. Pictures are timelapse-
recorded. When a VHS tape is used, the Linear Slow Mode cannot be used.
• When the L24H Linear Slow mode is used, distortions may occur in the playback picture.
When recording of sound is not required, it is recommended to the 24H timelapse mode.
• For best results, use an SE-180 or E-180 tape.
• Replace the cassette at least once every 15 days when using the 3H - 168H modes. In the 240H mode, replace
the cassette with a new one at the completion of recording.

Regarding tapes for recording
When a VHS cassette is loaded in this unit, recording is
performed in the S-VHS ET mode. Use a HG (high-
grade) type tape for recording in the ET mode. (JVC
videocassettes are recommended.)
A VHS tape recorded in the S-VHS ET mode cannot be
played back on a normal VHS type video deck.
It is recommended that you mark the label on the
cassette so that you know that it is recorded in the S-
VHS ET mode. Playback should be performed on this
unit, or on a video deck equipped with function for S-
VHS or S-VHS simple playback (SQPB). However,
playback may not be possible on some video decks
equipped with function for S-VHS or S-VHS simple
playback (SQPB). (This is due to differences in the way
S-VHS/VHS is distinguished by the various units.)
