NOTES:

The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.

A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from "0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.

In the following circumstances, you should play the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:

When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.

When you have made a recording on a tape, then played that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to continue recording.

When you lost power or the batteries died while you were recording with a camcorder.
