Be sure to read carefully and follow all the PRECAUTIONS on page 1 and 2.
Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
About this VCR operation (block
recording)
This VCR is equipped with a memory function that, while
recording (or playback), will first store the pictures in the
internal memory before it actually records them to tape (or
outputs them to the screen). This function will prevent
damage to the tape and video heads. Therefore, during
recording/playback, the tape counter and the tape
mechanism will start and stop repeatedly. This is normal
and does not indicate a mechanical problem.
œ Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ Avoid dusty or humid places.
œ Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat
dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the
VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this
will block the ventilation holes.
During recording:
œ Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
The images from the camera or other signal input source
are first stored to memory, then when the memory
reaches its capacity, the images are recorded onto the
tape.
œ Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œ Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations
(see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).
œ Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
During playback:
may cause playback or recording problems.
The images recorded on the tape are first read into the
memory, then when the memory reaches its capacity, the
images are output to the monitor screen.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire
œ Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
Video Cassette Tapes
œ Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
Use only video cassette tapes bearing the S-VHS logo.
œ If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service center.
This VCR was primarily designed for use with
ST-180XZES cassette tapes, for optimal performance
only use ST-180XZES S-VHS videocassettes.
œ Do not place anything directly on top of this VCR.
ST-180XZES cassette tapes are available at any dealer
where this unit is sold.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area to
a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form in the unit. The Dew indicator
(4) blinks. If you operate the VCR with dew inside,
damage may result.
Prevention:
1 Make all necessary connections.
2 Plug the power cord into a 120 V AC wall outlet.
3 Do not operate the VCR for approximately 2 hours.
When the VCR reaches room temperature, the Dew
indicator (4) will turn off and the VCR will be ready to
operation.

VIDEO CASSETTE TAPES
Use only video cassette tapes bearing the S-VHS logo.
Loading
This VCR was primarily designed for use with
ST-180XZES cassette tapes, for optimal performance
only use ST-180XZES S-VHS videocassettes.
1 Place the cassette, label side up, in the loading slot.
Gently push the center of the cassette until it is
loaded automatically.
ST-180XZES cassette tapes are available at any dealer
where this unit is sold.
Handling Cassette Tapes
The cassette tapes should always be stored vertically, in
their cases, away from high temperatures, magnetic
fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations subject to
mold formation.
ø The time display will switch to the reset counter
“0 00 00” display.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism and never
touch the tape with your fingers.
ø After the cassette tape is loaded, a mechanism
will operate for about 12 seconds to check that
the tape has been threaded correctly and the
cassette indicator “o” will blink during that period.
Protect the cassette tapes from shocks or strong
vibrations.
ø When the cassette is loaded, if the tape has
been threaded correctly, the cassette indicator
“o” will light on the digital display.
To Protect your Recordings
After having recorded a tape, if you wish to keep the
recording, use a flathead screwdriver to break off the

TAPE MANAGEMENT FUNCTION
This VCR is equipped with a tape management function.
Using this function you can protect previous recordings
and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape
protection term (number of days), the maximum number
of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. To
use the tape management function, it must be set before
recording is started. The tape management data is
recorded at the beginning of the tape. For details on how
to set this function, refer to “Setting the Tape
If a conflict is found when the tape management data is
checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is displayed
and the conflicting setting will flash. This menu will show
the settings taken from the data recorded on the tape and
not the current data settings held in the VCR’s (TAPE
MANAGEMENT) menu setting. Refer to “Tape
Management Conflict Display” for detailed information.
NOTES:
Management Function”.
œ During Autorepeat recording, the tape management
data at the beginning of the tape will be checked and
updated every time the tape is rewound to the
beginning. However, the “PROTECT DAY” setting will
be ignored. Also, even if there is a conflict with the
“REC PASS SET” number, autorepeat recording will
continue without any warning.
PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the
tape can be rerecorded over.
REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings, in
order to maintain a good image quality.
GROUP NO.:
To manage tapes belonging to different
recording groups.
œ If the VCR is set for alarm recordings, alarm recording
will be done based on the different settings.
NOTE:
If an alarm trigger is received while the tape is being
first rewound, the tape will continue to be rewound to
the beginning, then alarm recording will be done after
the tape has been advanced of a preset duration.
If an alarm trigger is received while the message “T.
MANAGE. CHK” is displayed on-screen, in order to
prevent erasing the tape management data recorded at
the beginning of the tape, the tape is advanced of a
preset duration, then alarm recording starts.
If an alarm trigger is received while tape management
data is being recorded onto the tape, alarm recording
will only start after all the data has been recorded.
Furthermore, when setting a program timer recording,
in order to protect the data, no alarm trigger will be
received until the first program timer recording starts.
œ Before using this function, make sure that the clock is
set properly.
Operation
When recording is started, the VCR will rewind the tape to
the beginning, and will playback some of the tape to
check for the presence of tape management data (no
image is displayed). While the presence and type of data
are checked, the message “T. MANAGE. CHK” is
displayed on-screen.
NOTES:
œ When a program timer recording is set, the tape
management data is checked after the TIMER button is
pressed to complete the program timer recording
setting.
œ When performing trigger shot recording and alarm
recording, the tape management function will not
operate even if it is active.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
œ If the tape management data cannot be read, the
VCR will switch to stop mode and “DATA NG” will
be displayed on-screen.
If no tape management data is present on the
tape
Recording will start according to the settings in the
(TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu.
This may indicate that the beginning of the tape
(data recording/reading section) is damaged and
the tape may be unusable.
When recording starts, the updated tape

management data is recorded onto the tape.
If the tape has already been recorded on, the
message “USED TAPE” will flash on-screen until
recording starts.
œ Set the security lock function to on in order to
protect the security of this feature.
If tape management data is present on the tape
The tape management data is checked and if there is
no conflict, the VCR will rewind the tape to the
beginning, then recording starts and the updated tape
management data is recorded onto the tape. While the
tape is rewound and the tape management data
recorded, the message “T. MANAGE. OK” is displayed
on-screen.
