PRECAUTIONS

Safety

Operation

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabi-

net, turn off the unit and have it checked by quali-

fied personnel before operating it any further.

• To disconnect the m ains lead, pull it out by the

plug. Never pull the lead itself.

• Condensation

If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor

in the air will condense on the surface of the

glass.

This is the condensation of m oisture.

Condensation on the head drum , one of the m ost

crucial parts of the VCR, will cause dam age to the

tape. The VCR should not be operated for at least

2 hours after being m oved from a cold to a hot

environm ent to avoid condensation from occur-

ring on the head drum .

Installation

• Choose a location in which air can pass through

the ventilation holes in the bottom , top and back

of the unit to prevent it from overheating.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as

radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, m echanical vibrations or

shock.

• Do not place heavy objects or heat-generating

objects on the VCR, or the cabinet could be dam -

aged or the tem perature inside the VCR could

rise, which could cause a fault.

Cleaning

• Be careful; when the surface of the case is wiped

with a volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol,

thinner, etc., or a chem ically processed cloth, the

surface finish m ay be degraded or its coating m ay

peel off.

• Never bring a m agnet or m agnetized object near

the VCR because it will adversely affect the per-

form ance of the VCR.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position.

The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal

position.

Repacking

• It is wise to save the packing m aterials and box in

case you ever need to ship or store your unit.

INSTALLATION

VIDEO CONNECTIONS

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Use coaxial cables when connecting a cam era and a

m onitor to this VCR.

Note: Audio recording can be perform ed at the 09

and 27-hour recording speeds and audio playback at

the 09 and 27 speeds.

Note: Long cable runs to distant cam eras m ay

cause signal deterioration and/or sync discrep-

ancies. If these problem s occur, use video line

am plifiers and/or cam eras having phase-adjustable

line-locked vertical sync.

Audio In: Accepts an audio signal from a cam era,

external sound equipm ent, or another recorder

(Line: –8 dBm , 50 kohm ).

Audio Out: Provides an audio output for a m onitor

or another recorder (–9 dBm , 600 ohm , unbalanced).

Video Input

In single cam era system s, connect the cam era to the

Video IN BNC term inal on the VCR rear panel. Use

of a 2:1 interlace cam era is highly recom m ended;

otherwise, the m onitor will show vertical distortion

of the TIME/DATE characters.

USING THE 15-PIN ADAPTER

In m ultiple cam era system s, connect the switcher

output to the Video IN BNC term inal. Because m ul-

tiple cam era system s require synchronization, use

of cam eras having line-locked vertical sync or a gen-

locked m aster drive/sync source is highly re-

com m ended. The use of vertical interval switchers

is also recom m ended.

Attach the wires of the alarm switch, door sen-

sor or warning lam p to the 15-pin adapter

using screws.

After connection, connect the adapter to the

EXTERNAL INTERFACE jack on the rear of the

VCR.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.

c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the unit and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should

be followed.

d. If the unit does not operate norm ally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

operating instructions, as an im proper adjustm ent of other

controls m ay result in dam age and will often require extensive

work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its norm al

operation.

5. Cleaning — Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do

not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a dam p cloth for

cleaning.

6. Attachm ents — Do not use attachm ents not recom m ended by the

product m anufacturer as they m ay cause hazards.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been dam aged.

7. Water and Moisture — Do not use this unit near water – for

exam ple, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,

in a wet basem ent, near a swim m ing pool, in an unprotected out-

door installation, or any area which is classified as a wet location.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in perform ance – this

indicates a need for service.

18. Replacem ent Parts — When replacem ent parts are required, be

sure the service technician has used replacem ent parts specified

by the m anufacturer or have the sam e characteristics as the orig-

inal part. Unauthorized substitutions m ay result in fire, electric

shock or other hazards.

8. Accessories — Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod,

bracket, or m ount. The unit m ay fall, causing serious injury to a

person and serious dam age to the unit. Use only with a stand, tri-

pod, bracket, or m ount recom m ended by the m anufacturer, or

sold with the product. Any m ounting of the unit should follow the

m anufacturer’s instructions, and should use a m ounting access-

ory recom m ended by the m anufacturer.

19. Safety Check — Upon com pletion of any service or repairs to this

unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to deter-

m ine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

20. Coax Grounding — If an outside cable system is connected to the

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirem ents for the grounding electrode.

An appliance and cart com bination should be

m oved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces m ay cause the appliance and cart

com bination to overturn.

9. Ventilation — Openings in the enclosure, if any, are provided for

ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to pro-

tect it from overheating. These openings m ust not be blocked or

covered. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation

unless proper ventilation is provided or the m anufacturer’s

instructions have been adhered to.

21. Lightning — For added protection of this unit during a lightning

storm , or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods

of tim e, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable

system . This will prevent dam age to the unit due to lightning and

power-line surges.

particular installation. If this equipm ent does cause harm ful inter-

ference to radio or television reception, which can be determ ined by

turning the equipm ent off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or m ore of the following m easures:

Alternately, this unit m ay be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-

type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety fea-

ture. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

PRECAUTIONS

Safety

Operation

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabi-

net, turn off the unit and have it checked by quali-

fied personnel before operating it any further.

• To disconnect the m ains lead, pull it out by the

plug. Never pull the lead itself.

• Condensation

If you pour a cold liquid into a glass, water vapor

in the air will condense on the surface of the

glass.

This is the condensation of m oisture.

Condensation on the head drum , one of the m ost

crucial parts of the VCR, will cause dam age to the

tape. The VCR should not be operated for at least

2 hours after being m oved from a cold to a hot

environm ent to avoid condensation from occur-

ring on the head drum .

Installation

• Choose a location in which air can pass through

the ventilation holes in the bottom , top and back

of the unit to prevent it from overheating.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as

radiators or air ducts or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, m echanical vibrations or

shock.

• Do not place heavy objects or heat-generating

objects on the VCR, or the cabinet could be dam -

aged or the tem perature inside the VCR could

rise, which could cause a fault.

Cleaning

• Be careful; when the surface of the case is wiped

with a volatile agent such as benzine, alcohol,

thinner, etc., or a chem ically processed cloth, the

surface finish m ay be degraded or its coating m ay

peel off.

• Never bring a m agnet or m agnetized object near

the VCR because it will adversely affect the per-

form ance of the VCR.

• Do not install the unit in an inclined position.

The unit is designed for operation in a horizontal

position.

Repacking

• It is wise to save the packing m aterials and box in

case you ever need to ship or store your unit.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Use coaxial cables when connecting a cam era and a

m onitor to this VCR.

Note: Audio recording can be perform ed at the 06,

18 and 30-hour recording speeds and audio play-

back at the 06, A18, and A30 speeds.

Note: Long cable runs to distant cam eras m ay

cause signal deterioration and/or sync discrep-

ancies. If these problem s occur, use video line

am plifiers and/or cam eras having phase-adjustable

line-locked vertical sync.

Audio In: Accepts an audio signal from a cam era,

external sound equipm ent, or another recorder

(Line: –8 dBm , 50 kohm ).

or another recorder (–9 dBm , 600 ohm , unbalanced).

Video Input

In single cam era system s, connect the cam era to the

Video IN BNC term inal on the VCR rear panel. Use

of a 2:1 interlace cam era is highly recom m ended;

otherwise, the m onitor will show vertical distortion

of the TIME/DATE characters.

USING THE 15-PIN ADAPTER

In m ultiple cam era system s, connect the switcher

output to the Video IN BNC term inal. Because m ul-

tiple cam era system s require synchronization, use

of cam eras having line-locked vertical sync or a gen-

locked m aster drive/sync source is highly re-

com m ended. The use of vertical interval switchers

is also recom m ended.

Attach the wires of the alarm switch, door sen-

sor or warning lam p to the 15-pin adapter

using screws.

Maintenance

Two periodic m aintenance steps are recom m ended

to insure the peak perform ance of this product.

1. Periodically m ake a careful observation of the

quality of the playback video. If there are excess-

ive dropouts (noise specks) across the video pic-

ture, and the TRACKING control does not clear

the picture, then head cleaning m ay be necess-

ary. Obtain a high quality head cleaning kit, and

follow the directions carefully. The length of

tim e between cleaning depends on the am ount

of airborne contam inates around the tape

recorder and/or cassette.

2. The unit should be inspected every 3500 hours of

continuous usage by the dealer from whom the

recorder was purchased.
