To record in a blank space

Blank space on the tape will appear as a blank row in the SMART SEARCH screen. Select the last blank row in step 3, then press OK. The VCR rewinds/fast-forwards the tape to the beginning of the blank space, then stops. Start recording. Note that “BLANK TIME” and the remaining time indication only refers to the length of the last blank space.

SMART SEARCH

•You can store information for up to 24 programmes on a single list.

•While recording, you can display the SMART SEARCH screen using the SMART

SEARCH button. If you decide to stop recording, press MENU to make the SMART SEARCH screen disappear first. Then press xSTOP.

•You can have the player recall the data of the last cassette used to record programmes even after you eject the tape (page 78).

Notes

•You cannot use this function unless the clock is set.

•Depending on the tape, the total or remaining time may not appear correctly.

•If many short programmes are recorded on a tape, multiple programmes may be included in a single block. In this case, only the latest programme information will appear in the SMART SEARCH screen.

•Blank time is measured from the end of the last recorded programme to the end of the tape. However, if you eject the tape and then make a new recording on the same tape, the original recorded programme(s) is displayed as a blank space.

•The station name* may not appear if the VCR does not receive station name information signals.

•If you start recording a programme “D” from the middle of a previously recorded programme “A” and into another previously recorded programme “B,” the Smart Search information for the second programme “B,” which is recorded over, is deleted.
