SmartFile function

Recording using the SmartFile function

To use the SmartFile function, attach the SmartFile label to the spine of the cassette. If you record a programme on a tape with a SmartFile label, for more than 20 minutes in LP mode and 11 minutes in SP mode, programme data, such as the name, date and channel, is automatically stored in the memory of the SmartFile label. Some stations may not offer this service.

Attaching the SmartFile label to the cassette

To use the SmartFile function, attach the supplied SmartFile label to the cassette. Remove any staines or dirt from the surface of the spine of the tape. Then, holding both edges of the SmartFile label so that it doesn’t bend, attach it along the guide line to the spine of the cassette. This tape is henceforth referred to as a SmartFile tape.

-attach more than one SmartFile label to a tape.

-attach some metal, or sticker which has metal, to the SmartFile label.
