TAPE MANAGEMENT FUNCTION

This VCR is equipped with a tape management function. Using this function you can protect previous recordings and prevent overuse of the tape by controlling the tape protection term (number of days), the maximum number of re-recordings of the tape and the recording group. To use the tape management function, it must be set before recording is started. The tape management data is recorded at the beginning of the tape. For details on how to set this function, refer to“Setting the Tape

Management Function”.

PROTECT DAY: To set the number of days before the tape can be rerecorded over.

REC PASS SET: To limit the number of rerecordings, in order to maintain a good image quality.

GROUP NO.:

To manage tapes belonging to different

 

recording groups.

NOTE:

If a conflict is found when the tape management data is checked, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu is displayed and the conflicting setting will flash. This menu will show the settings taken from the data recorded on the tape and not the current data settings held in the VCR’s (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu setting. Refer to “Tape Management Conflict Display” for detailed information.
