You can manually name a recorded programme and select the category. You can also name the SmartFile tape.

Notes

If you don’t set the clock or the clock isn’t set to the correct time and date, the recording start time won’t be stored correctly on the Smartfile list. Also the programme label won’t be stored correctly if the TV guide page information of Teletext is not set correctly (see page 76).

When you set the AUTO LONG PLAY option to ON in the TAPE OPTIONS menu, and the tape speed automatically changes from SP to LP during recording, the VCR displays the entire recording time converted to SP mode in the SmartFile list.

The recording time length in the SmartFile list is an estimation and may be slightly different from the actual recorded time lenght.
