•You cannot use this function unless the clock is set.
•Depending on the tape, the total or remaining time may not appear correctly.
•When recording a short programme (less than 10 minutes in SP mode, or 20 minutes in LP mode), the Smart Search function may not be available or the programme information may not appear. Also, if you record a long programme directly after a short programme, the Smart Search information for the short programme may be deleted.
•Blank space is measured from the end of the last recorded programme to the end of the tape. However, if you eject the tape then make a new recording on the same tape, the original recorded programme(s) is displayed as a blank space.
•If no information is stored in the VCR’s memory, LATEST DATA does not appear in the SMART SEARCH screen.
