Tips

•When you start recording from a position prior to the protected programme, the recording automatically stops no more than about four minutes in SP mode and about eight minutes in LP mode before the beginning of the protected programme. The BLANK TIME indicator flashes in the display window.

•If you protect a programme just after the Blank Time space, BLANK TIME is shortened by about four minutes in SP mode and about eight minutes in LP mode.

•If you try to record on a SmartFile tape containing a protected programme, a message indicating that there is a protected programme on this tape appears on the TV screen.

Notes

•When you record another programme just after a protected programme, locate the beginning of the Blank Time space by following the instructions in “Recording after locating the Blank Time space“ on page 79. Otherwise, if the recording start point overlaps the protected programme, the VCR may over-record the protected programme.

•If you insert a SmartFile tape which contains a protected programme or protect a programme for the first time on a new tape, the VCR will analyse the position of the protected programme for a few seconds. You cannot operate the VCR while the VCR is analysing the tape.

•If the SmartFile list contains 12 protected programmes, the next programme you record won’t be stored in the SmartFile list.

•When you try to turn off the VCR after setting a ShowView or timer recording on the protected programme, the VCR automatically ejects the cassette.

•The protect function may not work with an NTSC-recorded tape.
