8.0 RECORDING
8.1 MANUAL RECORDING
1. Load a cassette with the erasure prevention tab intact.
2. Press the REC/PLAY MODE buttons (+/-) to select the desired recording mode.
If necessary, change the recording mode, as follows:
• NORMAL <SP> – Choose SP (standard play) when a higher picture quality is
desired. With this setting, the recording time mode is switched in the following
order: 2H, L24H, 48H, 72H, 96H, 120H, 168H, 0H, 2H.
• H•D<EP> – Select the EP (extended play) setting to make high density re-
cordings. This provides three times more fields than normal density (SP). It
reduces the time interval between pictures, providing more pictures for
smoother time-lapse recording. With this setting, the recording time mode is
switched in the following order: 6H, L18H, 48H, 72H, 96H, 120H, 168H, 0H,
6H.
3. Use the VIDEO switch to pick either color or black and white (B/W) recording.
(Do not connect color and black and white cameras together.)
4. To record the day and present time, display the day and present time on the
monitor. (If you are not using a switcher and the time/date do not appear on
the monitor and you want them to be recorded on the tape, you must turn
them on using the VCR’s menu system. If you already have time/date sup-
plied by a switcher, you will probably not want them turned on via the VCR’s
menu.)
5. Press the REC button to begin recording.
6. Press the STOP button to stop recording.
NOTES:
• Press the PAUSE/SHUTTLE
HOLD button to momentarily
stop recording. Press the but-
ton again to resume recording.
• To protect the tape, the pause
mode is automatically re-
leased after about five min-
utes.
• The REC button will not func-
tion unless the tape is in the
stop or pause mode.
• If the cassette you insert in the
VCR has the erasure preven-
tion tab removed, the VCR will
automatically eject it if you try
to record on it.
• Both 2-hour (SP) and 6-hour
(EP) tapes are VHS compat-
ible with other VCRs. Time-
lapse recordings can be
played correctly by other VHS-
compatible time-lapse record-
ers when the recording inter-
val and head type (SP/EP)
matches the recording.
