SmartFile function
Recording after locating the Blank Time space |
|
| ||
The SmartFile function identifies not only |
|
|
|
|
the largest amount of available blank space, |
|
|
|
|
but also recorded material that doesn’t have |
|
|
|
|
corresponding programme data stored in the |
|
|
|
|
SmartFile label. The longest available |
|
|
| OK |
recording space (including programmes that |
|
|
| |
|
|
| SMARTFILE | |
are not stored on the SmartFile label) is |
|
|
| |
|
|
| CURSOR | |
referred to as "Blank Time space". You can | 1 | 2 | 3 | M/m/</, |
locate the beginning of the Blank Time | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|
space for recording. If there is a recorded | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|
programme after the Blank Time space, the |
| |||
| 0 |
|
| |
VCR will |
|
|
| |
unless you stop recording. If there is a | SP/LP | |
programme you want to prevent from being | ||
| ||
recorded over or erased, protect that |
| |
programme before you start recording |
| |
another programme (see page 98). |
|
Before you start…
• Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.
| Insert a SmartFile tape with its safety tab in place. |
