64 Tape Manager
The Tape Manager will tell you:
•on which tape you have recorded programs,
•on which tape you have enough blank space for new recordings, and
•what recordings are on a tape.
Information about every recording made on this VCR will be memo- rized (date, start and stop time, length, and channel). Tapes will have a unique number to identify them.
