Notes
• If you begin recording a programme “D” from the middle of a previously recorded
programme “A” and into another previously recorded programme “B,” the Smart
Search information for the second programme “B” which is recorded over is
deleted.
• You cannot use this function unless the clock is set.
• Depending on the tape, the total or remaining time may not appear correctly.
• When recording a short programme (less than 10 minutes in SP mode, or 20 minutes
in LP mode), the Smart Search function may not be available or the programme
information may not appear. Also, if you record a long programme directly after a
short programme, the Smart Search information for the short programme may be
deleted.
• Blank space is measured from the end of the last recorded programme to the end of
the tape. However, if you eject the tape then make a new recording on the same
tape, the original recorded programme(s) is displayed as a blank space.
• If no information is stored in the VCR’s memory, LATEST DATA does not appear in
the SMART SEARCH screen.
