Stop or operating mode off
* If the external recording function is activated a hundred
times a day or more, a malfunction may occur because
the guaranteed range is exceeded.
If you want to use this unit more than a hundred times a
day, set the recording speed mode to 2H/6H and
perform regular maintenance, replacing parts as
necessary.
External control
equipment
Connect the [SERIES REC IN] terminal and [COM] terminal
on the AG-TL950P rear panel to the external control equipment.
Alarm search/date and time search
• Alarm recording or sensor recording should continue for
at least 5 seconds.
• When recording is performed in the long-time timelapse
mode, date/time search will not function correctly if the
recording duration is too short.
To ensure that the date/time search operates correctly,
the recording duration must be equivalent to at least
5 seconds at Standard (2H) or EP (6H) speed.
(Example) With a 960-hour normal timelapse recording,
a recording time of 40 minutes or more is necessary.

• In addition to the Stop mode and the operating mode
off status, the external recording function also
operates in the Pause mode.
• If recording is already in progress when the VCR
activation signal is input, recording continues and
stops when the activation signal is no longer input.

When the TIMER indication lights or the menu switch
<REPEAT REC> in the <VTR MODE> menu is set to
"ON", externally activated recording is not executed.
To execute repeat recording via the external recording function,
set <REPEAT REC> to "OFF" and <AUTO REW> to "ON".
