button or turn the SHUTTLE ring.

If an alarm trigger is received while alarm recording is
in progress, recording duration for the second alarm

will register the alarm, but it will not be found during
an alarm scan and alarm search.
œ
If there is a power failure during alarm recording, and
the power is restored within the recording set
duration, alarm recording will continue.
œ
If the alarm recording duration is short, the alarms
may not be found during an alarm scan or an alarm
search. If the alarms are going to be reviewed using
alarm scan or alarm search, then in 8-hour mode,
20-second or more recording duration should be used.
œ
To do alarm recording during series recording, set
“MODE” to “Y1” or “Y3”. Alarm recording will be
conducted only if the VCR is recording.
œ
If the recording speed mode is “000”, the recording
will be in 8-hour mode irrespective of the alarm
recording speed mode setting.
