The WJ-DR200 AV Disc Recorder can record up to
28,000 freeze pictures with a resolution of 720 x 480
(Fine Mode) on a large capacity optical disc (DVD-
RAM).
It can be set up to respond automatically to a sensor or
alarm signal by recording the associated pictures.
PREFACE
• Records clear freeze pictures
Applies 3D Scan Conversion to record blur-com-
pensated, clear freeze pictures from moving
images. Vertical resolution is nearly double that of
conventional VCR pictures.
• Reliable recording of events
Obtain reliable records of important events by
selecting the recording mode best suited for your
purpose. There are three recording modes:
Single Shot Recording: Records a single freeze pic-
ture.
Multi Shot Recording: Records a continuous series
of freeze pictures.
Time Lapse Recording: Records freeze pictures at
regular intervals.
FEATURES
• Easy picture search
Three search modes for quick and easy picture
search.
List Search: Searches a list by recording date and
time.
Thumbnail Search: Searches displayed thumbnail
images of recorded pictures.
Direct Search: Searches by a recording date and
time or record number directly specified by the
user.
• Other handy recording functions
• Use the program timer function to preset the
recording time and mode for each day of the
week.
• Two video input channels for simultaneous
recording of images from two cameras.
• Connect two Disc Recorders in series for unin-
terrupted recording when the disc of one
recorder is full.

PRECAUTIONS
• Refer all work related to the installation of this
product to qualified service personnel or system
installers.
• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on
the cover.
To prevent the appliance from overheating, place it
at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from the wall.
• Do not drop metallic parts through slots.
This could permanently damage the appliance. Turn
the power off immediately and contact qualified ser-
vice personnel for service.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact
qualified service personnel for maintenance.
• Handle the appliance with care.
Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the
appliance.
• Fully charge up the backup battery.
Keep the appliance turned on for at least 48 hours
to recharge the backup battery. This procedure is
necessary when using the appliance for the first
time or after it has been unplugged for a long time
from the AC outlet. Insufficient charging of the bat-
tery may cause erasure of settings if the AC power
supply should fail. The battery, if fully charged, will
back up the settings for 480 hours in an ordinary
environment.
• We recommend that you note down your settings
and retain them. Power or battery failure may
erase settings you entered.
• Do not expose the appliance to water or mois-
ture, nor try to operate it in wet areas.
Do take immediate action if the appliance becomes
wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to quali-
fied service personnel. Moisture may damage the
appliance and also cause electric shock.
• Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is
dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter-
gent and wipe gently.
• Do not operate the appliance beyond its speci-
fied temperature, humidity or power source rat-
ings.
Do not use the appliance in an extreme environment
where high temperature or high humidity exists.
Use the appliance at temperatures within +5°C -
+40°C (41°F - 104°F) and a humidity below 90 %.
The input power source for this appliance is 120 V
AC 60 Hz.

Requirements for alarm and sensor input are as follows:
• Open collector output or no-voltage make contact
• The voltage between Ground and Alarm Input or Sensor Input when the circuit closes must be 0 to 0.2 V. The polarities
can be changed by setting the SIGNAL TYPE parameter in the Alarm Recording menu.
Notes:
• Recording of freeze pictures from VCR playback is not provided as a function. Recording is possible, but the results
may not be satisfactory depending on the type of VCR used.
• When the Disc Recorder is connected to several cameras, for example through a multiplexer, all camera inputs must be
synchronized to obtain proper images.
Refer all connection work to qualified service personnel or system installers.
■ Connection with Video Multiplexer
Example: Connection with Video Multiplexer WJ-FS616
Note: Refer connection with a Video Multiplexer other than the WJ-FS616 to qualified service personnel or system installers.

Cautions:
Noise may appear in the monitor image and the audio may be interrupted under the following circumstances:
• Faulty camera synchronization, causing large frequency deviations between individual cameras
• Picture experiencing abrupt changes in brightness
• Faulty timing in switching input and recording of video signals (for example, a sequential switcher is not used for the
camera switching output of the disc recorder, or switching is out of synchronization due to an alarm condition)

● Series Recording 2
(Alternate Time Lapse Recording)
Connect the terminals on the Terminal Boards of the MASTER and SLAVE Recorder as shown below.
When there is no more recording space on the disc of the MASTER recorder, time lapse recording switches to the
SLAVE recorder. For uninterrupted recording, the disc of the MASTER recorder can be exchanged while recording is
switched to the SLAVE recorder.
(Up to 16 recorders including the MASTER recorder can be connected to record sequentially.)
(Auxiliary Alarm Recording)
An auxiliary record is made on the SLAVE recorder when a second alarm signal is received while the MASTER recorder
is recording. This function is not available while the MASTER recorder is in an operating mode other than Alarm
Recording (playback, search, etc.).
Connect the required video and audio input to both recorders.
For sensor input, connect the SENSOR IN instead of the ALARM IN terminals.
