Labelling a recorded programme and tape (page 84)

You can attach an electronic "label" to the video tape and its programmes on the SmartFile list. Labelling the recorded programmes enables you to find a programme easily when you want to play it back. If TV guide pages are available in the Teletext, recorded programmes are labelled automatically. Also, once you label a programme which you set to record regularly (i.e everyday, same day of the week), the VCR recognizes the label and will automatically label all future recordings of the same programme.
