• When the tape ends:
When the tape reaches its end during recording, END appears on the fluorescent
display and TAPE END appears on the monitor. They will not appear if TAPE END in
the First Time Set Up menu is set to REPEAT, ALARM•PROT (when no alarm
recording is made), or REWIND.
• Lack of video signal:
“NO SIGNAL” appears on the monitor and “NoSIg” flashes on the fluorescent display
when the VCR cannot get any video input signal during recording. Check that the
cable from the camera is not broken and the camera has power.
• Fouling (clogged) head:
When CLOG DETECT in the Recording Set Up menu is set ON, the VCR automati-
cally removes particles that have accumulated on the heads during time-lapse
recording mode. If they cannot be removed completely, CLog flashes on the fluores-
cent display. If this happens, follow the remedy in Table H.
