Tips
• If you use a tape with
mark, the cassette
memory stores up to 135
index signals. (The number
changes depending on the
memory size combination
of index, date, and photo
data stored on a tape.) This
VCR is capable of storing
and retrieving up to 16
kbits of cassette memory.
• To locate recordings whose
signals are disabled to be
stored in the cassette
memory, or to locate
recordings in order of their
position on the tape, set
“CM SEARCH” to “OFF”
in the SET UP MENU. You
can use the same procedure
to search for a recording on
a tape without cassette
memory.
