TAPE MANAGEMENT

Tape Management Conflict Display

PROTECT DAY CONFLICT

If a conflict that prevents recording is found when the tape management function checks the tape data, the (TAPE MANAGEMENT) menu appears with the conflicting setting flashing and the VCR go into the stop mode.

NOTES:

œIf“OVERRIDE” is set to “N” (No), the conflicting setting is displayed flashing and the message (PRESS EJECT) appears at the bottom of the screen. Recording under these conditions is not possible. Press the EJECT button to eject the tape. To record on the same tape, set the“OVERRIDE” setting to “Y” and modify the conflicting setting, then insert the same tape and press the REC button. However, if only“PROTECT DAY” and “REC PAS SET” are modified, the menu will be displayed again. Press the

REC button one more time to start recording. Recording starts and the tape data is updated.

The tape is protected, and the tape protection term (ex. 30 days) is not yet over.

Under“LAST M/D”, the date of the last recording on the tape (or the last expected recording date (calculated using the tape length (T-120 or T-160) and the recording speed)) is displayed.

Under “NEXT M/D”, the date when it will be possible to record on the tape again is displayed.

REC PASS SET CONFLICTThe set number of recording passes has been reached.

The “PASS COUNT” shows the number of recording passes on the tape (ex. since the maximum recording passes number is set to “10”, this prevents further recording.)

the “PASS COUNT” number.

GROUP NO. SET CONFLICTThe group numbers do not match.

The “REC GR. NO.” shows the tape recording group number (ex. this tape belongs to a different recording group number 8 than the one set 7.)
