<Notes>
O The tape comes to a stop at its end or start if no
recording section with the date and time was
found as a result of the search.
O When the tape is stopped during recording, it
will stop at the border between the new
recording and old recording, and the continuity
in the date and time recorded on the tape will be
lost.
In this state, searches may not be performed
properly.
When the date or time to be searched is in the
newly recorded section, it is recommended that
the REV PLAY button be pressed. By pressing
this button, the tape is returned a little in the
reverse direction, the date and time data is
loaded, and the search is performed using this
data as a reference.
