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.

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.

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
