the UNIT key.

Record Speeds
Sets the speed at which the VCR normally records video and the speed at which it
records when there is an alarm(s). Setting the speeds in the Record Setup menu also
sets the speeds in the System Setup and Custom VCR Setup menus.
VCR Type (See Table E)
If your VCR is not listed among the options, do either of the following:
• Select UNIVERSAL. In the recording speed menu item at the top of the screen,
select an option that your VCR will support.
• Select CUSTOM. Then go to CONFIGURE CUSTOM VCR and press the OPEN key
to go to the Custom VCR Setup menu. The switch interval can be changed only
while in this setting.
VCR Video Format
This feature is not available on monochrome multiplexers. Composite is standard video
on a coaxial cable. SVHS is higher resolution video on a special cable.
VCR Switch Pulse
ENABLED means the multiplexer waits for a head switching pulse from the VCR. If the
multiplexer does not get a pulse from the VCR (because of a broken wire or the VCR
does not give a pulse in some modes), it may appear that the multiplexer is not
working properly.
DISABLED means the VCR head switching pulse is not used.
Alarm Handling
Determines how alarms are recorded and for how long.
Configure Custom VCR
Press the OPEN key to get to the CUSTOM VCR SETUP menu.
Playback Format
Tapes made using Pelco, Robot, and DM multiplexers can be played.
