To Delete the Jet Navigator Data of a Single Video Cassette Tape

Keep [CANCEL] (5) pressed for more than 5 seconds while the Jet Navigator list appears.

[ss] appears on the list.

See page 8 to delete all the Jet Navigator data stored in the VCR memory.

Notes:

The Jet Navigator list is stored in each cassette. Up to 20 cassettes and 50 programmes can be registered.

Signals approximately 10 seconds before and after the current tape position are checked. (During this checking, [CHECKING JET NAVIGATOR DATA.] is displayed on the TV screen.)

Checking cannot be performed properly where there are no signals such as at unrecorded portions of the tape. In this case, press [NAVI] (25) at a portion of the tape where a programme has been recorded of this VCR. This will allow signal checking to be performed more reliably. When a signal is still not found, [CAN NOT FIND JET NAVIGATOR DATA.] is displayed on the TV and you cannot find the beginning of the programme.

[PROGRAMME IS COMPLETE. REMAINING PROGRAMME 0. DELETE JET NAVIGATOR DATA.] appears when you try to store more than 50 programmes. The new item is added and the oldest item is deleted.

When programmes equivalent to 20 cassettes are already stored in memory, [REMAINING CASSETTE 0. FOR JET NAVIGATOR.] is displayed after Jet Navigator data checking is performed. Programmes recorded without deleting data are not registered in the list.

The list does not appear when playing tapes recorded on other equipment.

When recording over the same location on a tape, it may not work correctly.
