Notes on operation
•
This unit is designed with the E-180HF cassette tape as a reference.
•
Depending on the type of video cassette used, the recordable time will differ.
•
The actual recording enable time will be slightly longer than the "Recording enable time" given in the above
table although this will depend on the tape used.
For instance, it is possible to record for about 27 hours using a 180-minute tape in the L24H mode.
•
The L24-hour to 336-hour modes are time lapse modes. Pictures are recorded with frames skipped to enable
lengthy recording and playback.
•
A tape recorded in a time lapse (L24-hour to 336-hour) mode can be played back in quick motion in the 9-hour
mode.
•
A tape recorded in the 9-hour mode can be played back in slow motion using the time lapse (L24-hour to 336-
hour) mode.
•
When a tape recorded in the 6-hour mode with another recorder is played back in a different mode, colour
programmes may be played back in black and white or distorted colour, but this is not a malfunction.
(With still picture, field FWD ADV and field REV ADV operations, the colours at the top of the screen may
disappear at some tracking positions, but this is not a malfunction.)
•
Tapes recorded on this machine cannot be played back other VHS video recorder as they are not compatible.
•
Avoid using 240-minute tapes with this unit.
•
Normal playback only can be performed in the 3H or 6H mode. (However, noise may appear at the top and
bottom of the screen during STILL mode.)
•
If a tape recorded in the L24H or 54H mode is played back in the 9H, L24H or search playback mode, the playback
images may appear in black and white or distorted colour.
