Recording using the SmartFile function (continued)
To check the information of a recorded program
Press SMARTFILE. The SmartFile search list appears. The recording day of
the week, start time, channel, date, station ID, recording time, and tape
speed appear on the list. The longest space which doesn't have any program
data (Blank Time space) appears as "BLANK TIME."

Recording start time
Tips
• When you record a program using VCR Plus+ or GUIDE Plus+, the program and
category name may appear on the list instead of the day of the week, recording start
time, and channel.
• You can manually label a recorded program and select the category. You can also
label the SmartFile tape. See pages 47 through 51.
Notes
• The station ID appears only if the broadcaster sends this information.
• If you don't set the clock or the clock isn't set to the correct time, the recording time
won't be stored correctly on the SmartFile list.
• When you record a program using the normal recording mode while the CABLE
MOUSE option is set to ON in the CABLE BOX CONTROL menu, the channel
number is stored as "CH---."
• When you set the AUTO TAPE SPEED option to ON in the ADVANCED OPTIONS
menu, and the tape speed automatically changes from SP to EP during manual
timer recording, the VCR displays the entire recording time converted in SP mode
to the SmartFile list.
• The recording time length in the SmartFile list is an estimation and may be slightly
different from the actual recorded time length.
