1.15 BATTERY POWER DETECTION METHODS
The battery voltage is detected to display the remaining power
on the LCD. Since the detection voltage is variable depending
on the 12 V/13.2 V/14.4 V battery types, correct settings should
be made with the setup menu.

1.16 WARNING CODES
If a problem occurs during operation, the unit diagnoses the
cause by itself, provides a warning through the “warning LED”
and “buzzer”, and displays the diagnosis results in the counter
display.
[LCD counter]
Error display appears. (∗∗∗∗ is the error code.)
ERR-∗∗∗∗
[Warning LED]
The red LED blinks (at about 4 Hz).
[Buzzer]
Generates a continuous tone. However, the tone is intermittent
(at about 4 Hz) in case of dew alarm.
0201 Condensation
•VCR operation
In save mode:
· If a cassette is loaded, enters the AUTO OFF mode.
· If a cassette is not loaded, the warning LED lights
and the SAVE mode is maintained.
In other modes:
· If a cassette is loaded, the AUTO OFF mode is ini-
tiated.
· If a cassette is not loaded, the warning LED lights
and the drum rotates. An operation is accepted af-
ter any condensation has evaporated.
•Cause : Condensation of moisture.
•Detection method : Check the voltage at the pin 124 of
IC401.
DEW ON : 2.4 V or more
DEW OFF : 1.8 V or less
0601 WRONG CASSETTE TYPE
•VCR operation : The AUTO OFF mode is initiated.
•Cause : A wrong type of cassette for the
computer is inserted.
•Detection method : An error in the cassette type is de-
tected (at pins 117, 118 and 119 of
IC401) after the insertion is com-
pleted.
3200 LOADING INCOMPLETE
•VCR operation : The AUTO OFF mode is initiated.
•Cause : Malfunction of the loading motor,
rotary encoder or mechanism.
•Detection method : The rotary encoder output is
checked (at pins 44, 45 and 46 of
IC401) and an error is detected
when loading has not completed in
4 seconds.
