SELF-DIGNOSTIC SYSTEM

Automatically detects abnormal operation
Checks for abnormal internal operations automatically. If a malfunction in operation occurs within the unit, information about the abnormality is displayed on the LCD panel or monitor screen.

HI-FI AUDIO RECORDING AND EDITING (NARRATION)

Insert narration with images
The VCR is equipped with two-channel Hi-Fi recording and has one additional monotone channel for the addition of narration for images after initial recording has been completed (use microphone plugged into mic terminal on the front of the unit).

FLYING ERASE HEAD

Smooth, clean frames transition
After recording has been stopped, the flying erase head traces back over the image track and erases rainbow noise and distorted images before beginning to record again, thus ensuring smooth, clean connection of image recordings.

DUAL JOG DIAL SHUTTLE

Quickly search for recorded images
Use the inner jog dial to control forward and reverse frame movement and outer dial to control search speed. Combine the two and quick search of specific images is easier than ever. Setting the menu is easy, too.

LINEAR TAPE COUNTER/END-OF-TAPE DISPLAY

Easily check remaining tape time
Tape usage is monitored and displayed an easy to read hr:min:sec format. A bar-type display indicator also shows the amount of tape remaining, which helps to prevent recording mistakes due to shortage of tape.

MULTIPLE SEARCH PATTERNS

Quick leader tape search
“Blank Search” searches for sections of tape that have not been recorded automatically. “Time/Date Search” searches recorded data by time and date imprints. “Index Search” quickly searches for the leader tape at the start of each recording session. Choose the search method most convenient for the purpose at hand.
