This is convenient when you are going to view a program later or locate the beginning
of a blank section for recording.
Pressing STOP does not set the VCR to the recording mode automatically.
If you have selected a blank section in Step 5, press STOP. "BLANK" will appear on
the TV screen for several seconds, then the tape will stop automatically at the beginning
of the non-recorded section.
When you press the power button after selecting a program you want to view or a
blank section of a tape in step 5, the start of the program or blank section is located, the
VCR stops automatically and then turns off.
Storing Tape Data in Memory
Whenever this VCR records a program, tape data is stored in memory automatically.
When you use a T-120 tape for recording, no special procedure is required. The first
time you use a T-140, T-160, T-180 or T-210 tape to record with this VCR, however,
perform the following operation to store the data in memory correctly.
1. Insert a cassette into the VCR.
When you insert a tape on which you will record first with this VCR, the MENU button
indicator on the VCR flashes several times and goes out. Then the REM indicator
flashes in the VCR's display.
2. When REM is flashing, press CLEAR to select the type of tape. Each time CLEAR is
pressed, the VCR's display switches from no display to 160, 180, 210 and back to no
display.
No display: T-120 or shorter tape
160: T-140 or T-160 tape
180: T-180 tape
210: T-210 tape
When using a tape other than the above, switch to no display.
REM flashes for about 10 seconds. Press CLEAR when it is flashing.
3. Make a recording or timer recording.
Record programs in sequence from the beginning of the tape.
If the recording time is less than five minutes in the SP mode (less than 15 minutes in
the EP mode), the tape data is not stored in memory. If the type of tape specified is
incorrect, the data is not stored correctly even when recording is performed for more
than five minutes.
Once you have specified the type of tape, it is not necessary to specify it when you
are going to record a program on the same tape again.
TAPE DATA <ON>/<OFF>
When you do not want to use the Tape Navigation feature, specify TAPE DATA <OFF>
