TAPE MANAGEMENT FUNCTION
Tape Management Conflict Display
If when the tape management function checks the tape
data a conflict that prevents recording is found, the (TAPE
MANAGEMENT) menu is displayed with the conflicting
setting flashing and the VCR go into the stop mode. If in
the (SET UP 2) menu, in the BUZZER section WARNING
is set to “Y”, the buzzer is heard. (To stop the buzzer,
press the STOP button.)
NOTES:
œ If “OVERRIDE” is set to “N” (No), the conflicting setting
is displayed flashing and the message (PRESS
EJECT) is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Recording under these conditions is not possible.
Press the EJECT button to eject the tape. To record on
the same tape, set the OVERRIDE setting to “Y” and
modify the conflicting setting, then insert the same tape
and press the REC button. However, if only
“PROTECT DAY” and “REC PAS SET” are modified,
the menu will be displayed again. Press the REC
button one more time to start recording. Recording
starts and the tape data is updated.

To enter the record mode, press the REC button.
PROTECT DAY CONFLICT
The tape is protected, the tape protection term (ex. 30
days) is not yet over.
Under LAST M/D, the date of the last recording on the
tape (or the last expected recording date (calculated
using the tape length (T-120) and the recording
speed)) is displayed.
Under NEXT M/D, the date when it will be possible to
record on the tape again is displayed.
REC PASS SET CONFLICT
The set number of recording passes has been
exceeded.
The PASS COUNT shows the number of recording
passes on the tape (ex. this would be the 11th time the
tape is recorded over, since the maximum recording
passes number is set to “10”, this prevents recording.)
NOTES:
œ When conducting Autorepeat recording, if the PASS
COUNT exceeds 100, “101ö” will be displayed
flashing.
œ If using a tape recorded previously on a different
type of VCR (no tape data), when the set number of
recordings is exceeded, “USED TAPE” will flash
next to the PASS COUNT number.
GROUP NO. CONFLICT
The group numbers do not match.
The REC GR. NO. shows the tape recording group
number (ex. this tape belongs to a different recording
group number 8 than the one set 7.)
