Note
When recording on this VCR, signals for index search do not have
information on a day of the week.
About the cassette memory
• If you use a tape with
index signals. (The number changes depending on the data size
combination of index, date, and photo data stored on a tape.) This VCR is
capable of storing and retrieving up to 16 kbits of cassette memory.
• To locate recordings whose signals are disabled to be stored in the
cassette memory, or to locate recordings in order of their position on the
tape, set CASSETTE MEMORY SEARCH in the menu to OFF (see page
35). You can use the same procedure to search for a recording on a tape
without cassette memory.
Notes
• Each program is indexed at its beginning. If you record another program
over the beginning of the first program, you will not be able to locate the
original program.
