Information

Tape Library System

This information replaces the instructions for the following video cassette recorders.

NV-FJ760B/BL and NV-FJ710B: page 30

This advanced system makes it quick and easy to check the contents of an inserted cassette. It can also be used to quickly find out which
cassette in your collection contains a desired programme.
Whenever a cassette with an intact erasure prevention tab is inserted, the VCR first performs a brief check and then shows the number of the
cassette and its contents on the On Screen Display. To start playback of the desired programme, simply select it on the On Screen Display
and press the LIBRARY button M.

To index each recorded programme for the Tape Library System, this VCR automatically records the Library data (cassette number, title°1,
name of TV station°1, recording time/date°2, category°3, etc.) and stores the data in the VCR’s memory°4 when the recording is performed.

°1In case of a TV station with Teletext information, the title of the TV programme is entered automatically, provided the “Title page” is correctly

set. See page 46 (NV-FJ760B/BL). See page 43 (NV-FJ710B).
The name of the TV station will be recorded instead of the title if the “Title page” was not set correctly. See page 46 (NV-FJ760B/BL).
See page 43 (NV-FJ710B).
Teletext information may be corrupted due to poor signal condition, in this case the programme position will be recorded instead of the title.

°2The VCR’s clock must be set correctly.
°3Programme category must be entered manually. (See page 33.)
°4The VCR’s memory can hold a maximum of 600 programmes with titles of 8 characters (or up to 900 programmes with titles of fewer

characters).

Precautions for Recording:

≥ We recommend that you use new tapes for recording.
≥ Each recorded programme should have length of at least 15 minutes in the SP or LP mode.
≥ Each recorded programme should have length of at least 25 minutes in the EP mode.
≥ No Tape Library data is recorded during insert editing. (NV-FJ760B/BL only)
≥ If you copy a cassette with a cassette number, the tape library data may not be copied correctly. Therefore, the VCR’s Tape Library System

may not work correctly with such a copied cassette.

≥ When a new recording is made over existing recordings on a tape, the original programmes are deleted from the list.
≥ Before recording programmes, make sure that the tape length is set correctly on the On Screen Display. See page 49 (NV-FJ760B/BL).

See page 46 (NV-FJ710B). Otherwise, the tape position bar of the Tape Library data does not display the actual tape position. With some
tapes, the bar indication is not accurate.

≥ The VCR’s power back-up system protects the Tape Library data in the memory in case of a power failure and stores it for up to 5 years

when the VCR is not connected to an AC mains socket.

≥ When the recording is completed and you eject the cassette, the cassette number remains displayed on the VCR

display for approximately 30 seconds. Be sure to write this number on the cassette label.

≥ When the VCR’s entire memory area has been used up by the Tape Library data, or when cassette numbers

1 through 999 have all been used, the indication “Library memory full!” appears on the TV screen for several
seconds when recording is completed. After this, recording is still possible but no new Tape Library data can be
stored. In this case, delete the numbers of cassettes that you do not need any more before making further
recordings. (See page 34.)
