Warning Display
Self-diagnostic function
This VCR uses a self-diagnostic function to detect an internal malfunction during recording. When a malfunction occurs in the VCR
during recording, the indicator corresponding to each malfunction illuminates on the fluorescent display and/or on screen.
The type of malfunction corresponding to the indicator and countermeasures are given below.
When the tape ends
When the tape reaches its end during recording, “End” illuminates on the fluorescent display and “TAPE END” illuminates on screen.
The warning indicators will not illuminate, if TAPE END in FIRST TIME SET UP menu is set to REPEAT, ALARM•PROT (when no
alarm recording is made) or REWIND.
Lack of video signal input
The indicator “NO SIGNAL” appears on screen and “noSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display when the VCR cannot get any video
input signal during recording. The video input signal will not be obtained in case of any malfunction such as a broken video cable or
POWER to the camera is turned off.
About fouling of the head (Clogged head)
When CLOG DETECT of the RECORDING SET UP menu is set to ON, the VCR automatically remove any particles that may
accumulate on the heads during time-lapse recording mode. If it cannot be entirely removed, “CLOg” flashes on the fluorescent
display. If so, follow the remedy of “CLOg” in the above chart.

Rewind the tape or
press the EJECT button
First, check the cassette. If there seems to be nothing wrong with
the cassette, try the recording operation again. If the indicator
“CHECK” is still displayed on the monitor, replace the cassette with
a new one and try the operation again. If this does not clear the
indicator, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.
When a video signal is restored or the
recording mode is cleared, the indicator on
the fluorescent display and screen turns off.
Eject the cassette and
insert it again. If the
indicator “CLOg” is still
displayed, clean the
video cassette tape. If
the VCR still shows the
indicator after cleaning,
contact your dealer.
When the recording mode is cleared, the
indicator on the fluorescent display on
screen turns off.
Turn off the indicator on the fluorescent
display and screen by pressing the
EJECT button or rewinding the tape.
