Registering the contents of a recorded tape in the SmartFile label
To check the information of a registered programme
Press SMARTFILE.
The SmartFile search list appears. The registered programme number, registration
date and recording time appear in this list. Note that the registration date differs from
the recorded date.
Tips
The programmes recorded on the tape can be registered again in a SmartFile label that
already contains programme data. However, the recorded date and time, programme name
and information input manually (such as the programme label and category) are replaced
with "PROGRAM NO. XX".
If the SmartFile label contains stored programme data that includes protected programmes, a
message appears and the registration stops.
Notes
Programme data is not registered correctly in the SmartFile label when :
the programme length is about 20 minutes or less in LP mode or about 11 minutes in SP
mode.
the programme does not have an index signal or the index signal has been recorded over and
erased.
the tape is damaged or dirty.
If you dont set the clock or the clock isnt set to the correct date, the registration date wont
be stored correctly on the SmartFile list.
After you press SMARTFILE GENERATOR and start registration, registration is interrupted
if you press
STOP, PLAY,
FF
,
REW
,
/
or
/ INDEX SEARCH
.
In these cases as well, the data registered up to the point when registration was interrupted
remains in the SmartFile label.
When you set AUTO LONG PLAY to ON in the TAPE OPTIONS menu, and the tape speed
automatically changes from SP to LP during recording, the VCR displays the entire recording
time converted in SP mode to the SmartFile list.
The estimated position of the registered programmes may not be correct in case of many
short programmes recorded on long tapes.
