This function allows the VTR to perform self
diagnostics when a malfunction occurs.  An error
message is displayed and a history of all errors that
have occurred is recorded.

The VTR uses plug-in circuit boards to simplify
servicing and inspection.

The unit can be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-inch
rack.

The BKDW-515 Control Panel provides six menu
screens corresponding to the six operation modes to
allow fast and easy adjustment of necessary settings, as
well as the ability to store menu settings to a memory
card for later recall.

Six menus are displayed on the 90

These functions allow you to use titles to store and
recall menu settings in either the VTR’s internal
memory banks or memory cards.

These memory banks allow you to store up to eight
pages of VTR settings in addition to the current VTR
settings.  Factory settings are also stored here,
allowing the VTR to be reset to these values at any
time.

Each memory card can hold the current VTR settings
as well as up to eight pages of settings.  A single
memory card thus allows you to store and recall the
entire contents of the VTR memory banks.
