Blank Time; Function - Sony SLV-M10HF Operating Instructions Manual

Recording a program on the
SmartFile tape
When recording a program on the
SmartFile tape, no matter what method
you use to record the program (normal
recording, VCR Plus+ recording, etc.),
program data (date, channel, recording
start time, etc.) is stored in the memory
of the SmartFile label. The SmartFile
label can contain up to 12 programs'
data. When the number of the stored
programs goes over 12, the oldest
program data is erased from the
SmartFile list. However, a program
which lasts less than about 15 minutes in
EP mode or about 5 minutes in SP mode cannot be stored in the
memory.
When you record a program on the SmartFile tape which already
contains program data, see "Recording after locating the Blank Time
space" on page 91.
Before you start...
• Turn on your TV and set it to the video channel.
1
Insert a SmartFile tape with its safety tab in
place.
The VCR turns on, the SMARTFILE indicator
lights up, and the SmartFile search list
automatically appears on the TV screen.
2
Press SMARTFILE.
The SmartFile search list disappears.
3
Start recording a program.
Tip
• You can protect a recorded program from accidental over-recording or erasure (see
page 100).
Note
• If you press the P PAUSE button one or more times during recording, thereby
creating short lengths of recorded time between such pauses, program data may not
be stored in the SmartFile label.
