Alarm Record Dwell
The arrow should be pointing to ALM REC DWELL, which is a
feature used in conjunction with the alarm input jack on the
rear of the VCR. If you supply the RT-195 a contact closure,
the VCR will alarm record for the length of time set in the
ALARM RECORD DWELL menu.
The choices for the dwell time are 1S, 2S, 4S, 8S, 16S, 32S,
1M, 2M, 3M, 4M, and 5M. ("S" is seconds and "M" is min-
utes).
The VHS tape loading mechanism of the RT-195 only requires
approximately 1 second to actually start recording from the
time the VCR receives the alarm pulse. Additionally, the alarm
pulse must be at least 200mS to engage the alarm feature of
the RT-195.
To change the setting, with ALM REC DWELL selected, press
and release the P/S button. The current setting will appear.
Use the (-) or (+) buttons to toggle through the choices. Once
the setting you desire appears, press and release P/S. Your
selection will disappear and you can continue with additional
programming.
Alarm Counter
Use the (-) or (+) button to select this feature, and the P/S
button to display its current setting (the default is OFF). Use
the (-) or (+) to change the setting. If you turn the alarm counter
on, the number will appear below the title on your On-Screen
display. You would use this feature to inform you of how many
times the alarm input has been triggered, from 0 to 99 times,
at which point it returns to 0. The VCR will keep count of the
number of alarm inputs, regardless of the setting you choose,
and you may turn it on at any time to see the actual number
of inputs which have occurred. Once you have decided upon
the setting, press P/S to hide your choice, press (-) to select
EXIT, then press P/S again to return to the main program-
ming menu.
Tape Speed
The settings for TAPE SPEED are EP (Extended Play) or SP (Short
Play). EP is an option that effectively doubles the length of your
video tape, but may only be played on other VCR's with the
same
