NOTES:
The VCR writes an hour
index mark on the tape on the hour,
which it uses as a reference when
searching. Because of this, a re-
corded tape must pass a time clock
hour mark before this function can
work. The time date search func-
tion begins after the first hour in-
dex mark.
Example 1: The VCR is set to
record from 8:30 to 17:30. Times
from 9:00 to 17:30 can be found.
Example 2: The VCR is set to
record in one speed from 7:00 to
14:30, then in another speed until
18:00. Times from 7:00 to 14:30
and 15:00 to 18:00 can be found.
The time and date search function
only works for tapes recorded on
this model VCR.
If the recording quality is poor, the
VCR may fail to locate the desired
part of the tape during a time date
search.
