Tips

The programmes recorded on the tape can be registered again in a SmartFile label that already contains programme data. However, the recorded date and time, programme name and information input manually (such as the programme label and category) are replaced with "PROGRAM NO. XX".

If the SmartFile label contains stored programme data that includes protected programmes, a message appears and the registration stops.

Notes

Programme data is not registered correctly in the SmartFile label when :

the programme length is about 20 minutes or less in LP mode or about 11 minutes in SP mode.

the programme does not have an index signal or the index signal has been recorded over and erased.

the tape is damaged or dirty.

If you don’t set the clock or the clock isn’t set to the correct date, the registration date won’t be stored correctly on the SmartFile list.

After you press SMARTFILE GENERATOR and start registration, registration is interrupted if you press x STOP, H PLAY, M FF, m REW, ?/1 or ./> INDEX SEARCH. In these cases as well, the data registered up to the point when registration was interrupted remains in the SmartFile label.

When you set AUTO LONG PLAY 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 estimated position of the registered programmes may not be correct if many short programmes are recorded on long tapes.
