This VCR can check the tape condition during recording (and playback), and realizes the best possible pictures.

In addition, this VCR is equipped with the Video Navigation function, which allows you to quickly locate the programs you have recorded on a tape. When recording on this VCR, the tapes are automatically numbered so that every tape recorded on this VCR has a different tape number. With this function, the program information such as recording date, start time, channel number, and recording speed are also automatically stored in the VCR’s memory.

●For the Video Navigation function, see page 42. To memorize the recording date and start time for the Video Navigation function, the date and clock must be set correctly.
