Chapter 2 Playback and Recording
•You cannot add search signals after recording.
To add a search signal for Auto Repeat, start
recording from the point where you want to add it.
•When recording on this unit, signals for Index search
do not have information on the day of the week.
• Searching may not be done correctly if the tapes were
not recorded on Sony-brand digital video equipment.
About the cassette memory
•A tape with the
mark has cassette memory. When
using the 16 kbit cassette memory, you can store up
to 135 search signals. (The number changes
depending on the memory capacity of various
cassettes. It also changes depending on the data size
combination of index, title, date, photo, and tape label
data stored on a tape.) This unit is capable of storing
and retrieving up to 16 kbits of information in
cassette memory.
• To locate scenes that did not fit in the cassette
memory, or to locate scenes in order of their position
on the tape, set CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu
to OFF. You can use the same procedure to search for
a scene on a tape without cassette memory.
For details on the CM SET menu, see “CM SET menu” on
page 58 (GB).
Note
The number of search signals that you can record is
limited by the cassette memory space available when
you start recording. When you use a previously
recorded tape for repeated recordings, make more
memory space available by erasing unwanted items
using ITEM ERASE or ERASE ALL on the CM SET
menu before you start recording.
