The Tape Manager will tell you; - on which tape you find your recorded programmes. - on which tape you find enough blank space for new recordings. Every recording will be memorised (date, start and stop time, length and channel) and the tapes will be given unique numbers to identify them. TAPE MANAGER Notes: It may take a few seconds to display the directory screen while the VCR searches for the programme information at step 2. Tape Manager is possible with the cassettes recorded with this VCR only. To record the date and time as the programme title in this VCR's memory, make sure the VCR's clock is set correctly before recording. To record the programme information in this VCR's memory, you must record each programme for over the minimum continuous recording time; 5 min. After recording a tape with this VCR, write the tape number on a label and affix the label to the tape in order to allow you to find the tape by its number. The tape number will be assigned and appear on the screen once you eject the recorded tape. If the Tape Manager does not show the content of the inserted tape, wind the tape to a recent recording and press the TAPE MANAGER button again. The programme information is stored in this VCR's memory. If the memory in this VCR should ever be damaged and the programme information lost, it is impossible to restore that information. If the VCR 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). 2Access Title Screen 1 Press VCR.
