Programme Navigation
When you record a TV programme with this VCR, the VCR automatically stores in its memory
the recording date, start time and station name. You can store these information for up to
8programmes on one cassette. At maximum, information for 10 tapes can be stored. You
can also enter the programme title when performing ‘VIDEO Plus+ Timer Programming’
(੬pg.22) or ‘Express Timer Programming’ (੬pg.25). It is possible to store these infor-
mation only when ‘PROG. NAVIGATION’ is set to ‘ON’ (default setting) (੬pg.40).
When inserting a cassette with the record safety tab intact ...
The VCR checks the tape information for the
Programme Navigation. If the VCR can store the
information for 3 or less tapes, ‘
REMAIN [ _]’ also
appears on the TV screen.
If the VCR has already
stored the information
for 10 tapes, ‘
MEMORY
FULL
’ appears. If you
perform new recording,
the oldest tape informa-
tion will be deleted from
the VCR’s memory.
If the VCR cannot detect the tape information, ‘
NO TAPE
DATA DETECTED
’ appears. You cannot use Programme
Navigation.
NOTE:
If you press any button while ‘CHECKING TAPE DATA’
appears on the TV screen, the operation is canceled.
When inserting a cassette whose record safety tab has been removed ...
Playback begins automatically. You can use Navigation Playback (੬ pg. 40), but you
cannot edit programme title or delete tape data (੬ pg. 41, 42).
