Notes
•The time mode shown on the TIMER set display
suggests the timing for changing the cassette tape
next after starting recording at 0:00 AM on Monday.
That is, if “TIME MODE=178HOURS” is shown,
you may change the tape by 10:00 AM on the next
Monday.
However, recording is not always started at 0:00 AM
on Monday, so the time mode may not indicate the
precise time. The difference will be large especially
when the time mode value is small.
•If the calculated time mode exceeds 9999 hours,
“
****
” is displayed.
•When “A” is set in the REC column, “
****
” is
displayed for TIME MODE, as the time mode cannot
be calculated.
•When ALARM REC is set to ON in NORMAL or
INTERLEAVE mode on the recording function menu
(page 3-6), alarm recording will be activated
regardless of the timer recording setting.
However, alarm recording in FRAME, EVENT or
PREALARM will be activated only when “0” or “A”
is set in the REC column for timer recording.
