This function is handy when you have played
back the tape, for example, but want to start
recording right after the most recently
recorded scene. When you use a cassette
without Cassette Memory, the END
SEARCH function will not work once you
eject the cassette after you have recorded on
the tape. If you use a cassette with Cassette
Memory, it will function even when you have
ejected the cassette.
