^Operating Instructions for
*the Digital Scanner
This Digital Scanner lets you progran^me timer recordings by
tracing the corresponding bar codes on the supplied Program­
ming Sheet and then transmitting the data to the VTR.
Names and Functions
Transmit Button
Press to transmit the
programming data
to the VTR.
Transmitting Section
The programmed data
is transmitted from
here to the VTR.
Power On/Off Switch
Bar Code Reading Section
When the scanner is turned on, the red lamp will be lit.
How to Operate the Digital Scanner
Before using the Digital Scanner, batteries must be inserted.
Turning the Digital Scanner On
Set Power On/Off Switch to “ON”.
•If no operation is performed for more than 25 seconds, the
scanner will automatically switch over to the power-saving
standby condition and the lamp will go off. (in this case, if bar
codes have already been read but not yet transmitted to the
VTR, the data will be cancelled.)
•When the Power On/Off Switch is set to “ON” but the lamp is
not lit, sot the switch to “OFF” and then to “ON” again.
^Tracing the Bar Codes
^ Place the Digital Scanner vertically on the Small Box.
© Trace the bar code quickly in the direction of the arrow.
Small Box
The “Beep”
sound indicates
that the barcode
was read
completely.
Bar Code
Trace the barcode
completely past the last bar.
•It the bar code is traced slowly, it cannot be read
correctly.
•When there is no “Beep" sound, the reading of the bar
code is incomplete. Trace the bar code again.
•When using the Programming Sheet, put It on a flat
surface. Reading bent the bar codes or reading them
whilst holding them in your hand may cause incorrect
operation.
•Do not deviate from the bar code, nor stop tracing
halfway.
>Do not slant the scanner to trace the bar code.
Programming a Timer Recording
Example: When programming a timer recording for a pro­
gramme that will be broadcast on channel position 4
on the 3rd of the month, from 7:00 to 7:30, trace the
bar codes in the order of the numbered arrows
shown below.
O Trace the bar code for “CHANNEL".
o Trace the bar code for “DATE”.
0
Trace the bar code for “START TIME".
0 Trace the bar code for "END TIME”.

•The "Bee Bee Bee Bee Beeeeep” sound signals that the
scanner is now ready for data transmission.
•When no sound is heard, read the bar codes once again.
•If more than one bar code is traced in the same group,
only the last tracing will be effective.
•The bar codes for the time from “0:00” (midnight) to
“4:59" in the morning are on the back of the Programming
Sheet.
•If the “CANCEL” bar code is read, all bar codes that have
been read so far will be cancelled.
