the power is restored within the recording set duration,
alarm recording will continue.

scan or alarm search, then in 2-hour mode, 20-second
or more recording duration should be used.
œ To do alarm recording during series recording, set
“ALARM MODE” to “Y1” or “Y3”. Alarm recording will
be conducted only if the VCR is recording.
