Helpful Hints

It may take a few seconds to display

the directory screen while the VCR searches for the program information at step 2.

Tape Manager is possible with the cassettes recorded with this VCR only.

To record the date and time as the program title in this VCR’s memory, make sure the VCR’s clock is set correctly before recording.

To record the program information in this VCR”s memory, you must record each pro- gram for over the minimum continuous recording time; 5 min, for the SP mode or 15 min. for the SLP mode.

After recording a tape with this VCR, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the tape in order to allow you to find the tape by its number.The tape number will be assigned and appear on the screen once you eject the recorded tape.

If the Tape Manager does not show the con- tent of the inserted tape, wind the tape to recent recording and press the TAPE MAN- AGER button again.

The program information is stored in this VCR’s memory. If the memory in this VCR should ever be damaged and the program information lost, it is impossible to restore that information.
