NOTES:

In step 3, if the current position is at a blank portion the camcorder searches in the reverse direction, and if the current position is at a recorded portion the camcorder searches in the forward direction.

Blank Search does not work if “HEAD CLEANING REQUIRED. USE CLEANING CASSETTE” has appeared with the tape.

If the beginning or end of the tape is reached during Blank Search, the camcorder stops automatically.

A blank portion which is shorter than 5 seconds of tape may not be detected.

The detected blank portion may be located between recorded scenes. Before you start recording, make sure there is no recorded scene after the blank portion.
