Searching for the last scene of the most recent recording

– END SEARCH

This function is handy when you have played back the tape, for example, but want to start recording right after the most recently recorded scene. When you use a cassette without Cassette Memory, the END SEARCH function will not work once you eject the cassette after you have recorded on the tape. If you use a cassette with Cassette Memory, it will function even when you have ejected the cassette.
