Notes

• While alarm recording is in progress, other modes are

inoperable.

• After the alarm recording is completed, the VCR returns to

the condition it was in before the alarm signal was
received.

• If an alarm input is received while the VCR is in repeat

recording (see page 21), repeat recording stops and the
REPEAT indicator goes out. After the tape reaches the
end, the tape is rewound and the VCR stops. The OFF
indicator lights in the display window (only when
REPEAT 1 is selected for TAPE END MODE in the
GENERAL SET menu).

• When the OFF indicator lights, in order to prevent

accidental erasure of a recorded tape, timer recording and
alarm recording cannot be executed.
If any of REC z, FF M, REW m, PLAY B, STOP x
is pressed, the OFF indicator goes out.

• If another alarm is received while alarm recording is in

progress, the second alarm recording starts and the
recording duration is extended.

• If the power is interrupted while alarm recording is in

progress and restored again, the operation before the alarm
recording was made resumes.
