SETUP (Continued)
SETTING THE ALARM
The ALARM function allows the user to set the
recording duration, speed to be recorded and tape
recycle for alarm recordings. When a contact clos-
ure occurs at the ALARM B IN input, the VCR auto-
matically enters the RECORD mode at the pre-pro-
grammed ALARM recording speed. (See Alarm In,
page 10 for a complete description of the ALARM
sequence.) The ALARM recording duration can last
according to the set value, or until the contact clos-
ure is reopened.
The ALARM recording speed can be pre-pro-
grammed to 06~240.
The checking signal is automatically recorded on the
tape at the beginning of each ALARM recording.
Later, you can easily locate the start of each record-
ing by using these signals when watching a re-
corded content. See “ALARM INDEX SEARCH” on
page 23 for details.
See page 15 if you also want to record the date/time.
The TIME/DATE display is set as follows during
ALARM display.
—ALARM stars (✽) will replace the colons (:).

which was selected at the “SPEED” setting in the
