VR800 Owner’s Manual (Locate Function)

Auto Play

The Auto Play function allows the VR800 to start play back automatically from the located point. AUTO PLAY mode should be turned on before you execute the Direct Locate function described above.

Note: This function is effective within 24 ABS hours. Therefore, if playback continues over the recording end point, the VR800 will still continue counting the time. Also, when the VR800 locates ABS REC END, it will continue counting the time from the recording end point. (However, the VR800 does not access the disk after reaching the recording end point.)
