NOTES:
●
Tape Manager is possible with the cassettes recorded with this
recorder only.
●
To record the date and time as the programme title in this
recorder's memory, make sure the recorder's clock is set
correctly before recording.
●
To record the programme information in this recorder's
memory, you must record each programme for over the
minimum recording time; 10 min. for the D-VHS (STD) mode,
30 min. for the D-VHS (LS3) mode, 8 min. for the S-VHS/VHS
(SP) mode or 15 min. for the S-VHS/VHS (LP) mode.
●
Tape Manager may not work properly depending on the
cassette being used.
●
If the recorder finds two tape numbers in one tape while
playing back or searching for the beginning of a programme,
then when you remove the tape, the tape will be assigned just
one number (smaller number).
●
The programme information is stored in this recorder’s
memory. If the memory in this recorder should ever be
damaged and the programme information lost, it is impossible
to restore that information.
●
After recording a tape with this recorder, write the tape
number on a label and affix the label to the cassette in order
to allow you to find the tape by its number.

When you record a TV programme with this recorder, the
recorder automatically records the recording start time, date,

recorded in the tape title. You can then edit the tape title and
the programme titles as you like. You can also edit the category
in the programme title.
In short, you can use the Tape Manager function to create your
own video tape library.

Press MENU.
● Using the Confirmation screen, you can skip or add
channel positions, enter station names and perform
other operations. Refer to pages 58 – 61 for the
procedures.
● Depending on reception conditions, the stations may
not be stored in order, and the station names may not
be stored correctly.
● For information on scrambled broadcasts, refer to
page 59.
IMPORTANT
● In certain reception conditions, station names may not be
stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may
not work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set
properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using the
VIDEO Plus+ system, the recorder will record a TV
programme of a different station. When programming the
timer using the VIDEO Plus+ system, be sure to check
whether the channel position on which your recorder
receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is
selected (Z pg. 30, "VIDEO Plus+® Timer Programming").
● Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if
reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture
quality may be poor. To delete those stations with an
unacceptable picture Z "Delete A Channel" on page 59.
NOTES:
●
Fine tuning is performed automatically during Auto Channel
Set. If you want to perform it manually, refer to page 60.
●
If you perform Auto Channel Set when the aerial cable is not
connected properly, "SCAN COMPLETED -NO SIGNAL-"
appears on the screen in step 7. When this happens, make
sure of the aerial connection and press OK; Auto Channel Set
will take place again.
