SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem,
perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :
Check the metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to
earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to
any exposed metal part having a return to
chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the
Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter.The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter.The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale.The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)

HSR-1/1P
HSR-2/2P
This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDDs). Pay careful attention to the followings and perform
operations with extra care when installing, servicing, and maintaining this unit.
Never give any mechanical shock and vibration
This may cause an HDD trouble or destroy the data in HDD.
.Pack this unit using the specified packing materials when carrying the unit. Use a cart with less-
vibration when carrying this unit by a cart. If an excessive mechanical shock and vibration are applied,
the HDD may be damaged.
.Never move this unit under power-on state. Take out or insert this unit from or into the rack in a state of
powering off. Also never install or remove the cabinet under power-on state.
.When putting the unit on the floor, put this unit gently with the four specified feet which is attached to
the bottom of the unit on the floor. If there are no feet on the bottom, attach them before putting this
unit, or put this unit gently so that no sound is generated.
Never operate the unit for 30 seconds after the power is turned off
The disks in HDD rotate by inertia for a while after the power is turned off. In this case, the heads are in
the unstable state. During this period, the HDD is more sensitive to a mechanical shock and vibration than
during power on state. Never give even a slight shock at least 30 seconds after the power is turned off.
Operations can be initiated (because the disks stop) after 30 seconds or more.
In the event of trouble in HDD
If there is something wrong with the HDD of this unit (a failure occurs in the HDD), handle this unit in
the same manner as described above. This protects the HDD from increase of the damage till confirming
the contents of the failure or analyzing the failure.
Pay careful attention to the following when handlings the HDD alone.
Notes when carrying or keeping the HDD
Pack the HDD using the specified packing materials when carrying or keeping the HDD. Moreover,
choose the method which the HDD is not subject to the vibration when carrying.
CAUTION FOR HANDLING THE UNIT WITH BUILT-IN HDDS

8HSR-1/1P
HSR-2/2P
Notes when replacing the HDD
Follow the procedure (described in Section 3) when replacing the HDD.
.If an excessive mechanical shock and vibration are applied, the unpacked HDD may be damaged. Place
the unpacked HDD in a horizonal position (with the printed board side up) . Moreover, it is
recommended that the unpacked HDD is put on the specified HDD cushion.
.Use the specified shockless torque screwdriver when tightening and removing the screw during
replacing the HDD.
The HDD cushion and shockless torque screwdriver are available as a fixture.
HDD cushion : Part No. J-6530-060-A
Shockless torque screwdriver: Part No. J-6530-070-A
.HDD is easily affected by static electricity. Take measures against static electricity such as establishing
a ground, then install the HDD.
Handling of failed HDD
Handle the HDD that is removed because of a trouble or failure in the same manner as a normal HDD
following above precautions.

Overview
Features
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P Digital Surveillance Recorder is a
hybrid security recorder that records pictures from
multiple surveillance video cameras with a high
picture quality for long periods of time.
The differences between the HSR-2/2P and the HSR-1/
1P are described clearly in the manual. For anything
not mentioned, the operating procedure of the HSR-2/
2P and the HSR-1/1P is the same.
Versatile Processing of
Numerous Images
Four alternative picture quality modes
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can be switched among four levels
of picture quality: Super, High, Middle and Low
modes. This enables the appropriate balance between
picture quality and recording time to be selected
depending on the application. Super mode provides
excellent picture quality with a horizontal resolution of
more than 500 TV lines. High mode provides higher
quality than that of conventional equipment, with
resolution close to that of the S-VHS format and much
higher S/N ratio.
By selecting Middle or Low mode, you can prolong
recording time compared with the upper modes.
Large storage capacity
Using DV cassette tape (270-minute tape) as the
storage medium, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P offers a large
storage capacity of more than 60 gigabytes.
Long recording time
With its long-time recording capability, the HSR-1/1P/
2/2P releases you from frequent tape changes.
High refresh rate
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is capable of recording images at
a high refresh rate (0.4 seconds at minimum) for each
camera, so you no longer have to worry about failing
to record key scenes.
High Reliability, Low Maintenance
Reduced use of tape mechanism
The hybrid configuration, with a hard disk and DV
tape drive, makes it possible to achieve higher
reliability. The tape transport and heads of the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P are idle most of the time because the DV tape
drive works only while recording the image data being
transferred from the hard disk.

Chapter 1 Overview
Multiple Protection
In case of the failure of the DV tape drive, recording
operation continues on the built-in hard disk.
Conversely, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P records the image data
directly onto the DV tape if the hard disk fails. (In
some cases, some of the data may be lost.)
For additional protection, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P always
checks whether data is accurately recorded onto a tape.
If a recording failure is detected, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P
re-records the same data onto the tape.
Less Space Required
Compact body
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P features a compact body and is
similar in width to a 14-inch monitor.
Compact storage medium
Using DV cassettes of only 1/3 the volume of VHS
cassettes means your tape library takes up much less
space.
System Versatility
16 Camera inputs
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has four camera inputs as
standard. Up to three optional HSRA-11, four-input
boards can be installed, so up to 16 camera inputs can
be provided.
Built-in multiplexing capability
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has built-in multiplexing
capability, which allows independent recording and
monitoring. There is also a choice of various
monitoring patterns by freely assigning multiple
cameras to a single monitor.
Output for a second monitor
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has two monitoring outputs A and
B, for which output images can be independently
selected. For example, it is possible to monitor the
image from one key camera on the B monitor, while
checking playback on the A monitor.
Flexible camera assignment
There are five preset recording modes, which can be
flexibly combined with your choice of picture quality
mode, tape length, recording time, number of camera
inputs and the recording cycle of each camera. This
feature allows you to assign cameras as you like. It is
possible, for instance, to record from all the cameras in
High mode during the day and then select some of these
cameras to be recorded from in Super mode at night.
RS-232C interface
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with an RS-232C
interface for communication with external equipment
such as a personal computer, to facilitate machine
control, and user data read/write. You may also use this
port for connecting the optional SNT-V304 video
network station.
37-pin parallel port
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P has a 37-pin parallel I/O interface,
whose pin functions can be freely configured for a
particular application.
Recording/Playback Systems Not
to Miss Any Important Scenes
Playback During Recording (HSR-2/2P only)
You can check the latest recorded images by reversing
the recording for the desired length of time (from 1 to
99 minutes) without stopping recording in progress.
When checking, you can also search for a specific
image by using the time search and alarm search
functions. Images recorded on other cassettes can also
be played during recording by changing cassettes.

Flexibility in Alarm Recording modes
To capture more and even sharper images, the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P not only changes its recording mode to the
higher refresh and higher picture quality mode on
alarm, but also performs interleaved recording, which
accelerates the recording cycle of the camera in alarm
status.
It can also record images from the camera in alarm
status only for a preset duration. In addition, since
alarm and timer recordings can be combined, the HSR-
1/1P/2/2P can be set to normal recording mode during
office hours and set to alarm recording at night.
Continuous recording function
The recorder can continuously record images, even
while you are changing or rewinding the tape, so you
don’t have to worry about the breakup of a recording.
Sophisticated security function
The key-lock function may prevent accidents, such as
inadvertent break-off of important recording.
For higher security, you can specify passwords at three
levels.
Watermark
Using an original watermark system, the HSR-1/1P/2/
2P can identify image data that has been artificially
altered. When alteration is detected, a message is
displayed on screen.
Intelligent search functions
Time search/alarm search
You can easily locate the picture from a specific date
and time.
With a tape on which alarm recordings have been
made, you can locate a specific picture after checking
the list of those recordings.
Variable-speed search with a Jog/Shuttle dial
By connecting the optional SVRM-100A remote
control unit, noiseless picture search can be carried out
using its Jog/Shuttle dial.
Rec End search
The recording end point on a tape can be easily
located.
Quick recording start
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can start recording the moment
power is turned on. This allows immediate recovery
of recording after a power failure.
Pre-alarm recording
Thanks to the Pre-alarm recording capability,
recording can be started before catching a trigger
signal, thus chances are you’ll have the information
you need on tape
High-quality frame recording
By selecting Frame Rec mode, you can record a single
frame in response to an alarm in Hyper mode, which
provides higher resolution than Super mode.
Power-failure backup function
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with a protection
circuit (memory-backup circuit with a rechargeable
battery) to prevent loss of video data caused by power
failure.
If the power fails during recording, the protection
circuit activates, and stores video data for 24 hours.
When power is restored, the unit automatically
resumes recording mode and records the stored video
data on the tape.
Notes
•At least 24 hours with the power on is required to
fully charge the battery.
•Several frames captured immediately before the
power failure may be lost.
