1 END SEARCH button
When you press this button, the unit searches the tape
and plays back the last five-second recorded picture.
After playback, the unit turns to the stop mode. Use
this function to record another image at the end of the
last recorded portion or to check the image itself.
Note
If you use a cassette without cassette memory, the end
search function does not work once you eject the
cassette after you have recorded on the tape. If you use
a cassette with cassette memory, the end search
function works even if you have ejected the cassette
one or more times. If there is a blank portion at the
beginning or between recorded portions, the end
search function may not work correctly.
