Tape Navigation
Tape Navigation automatically stores the recording data (program title, recording date,
recording start time, channel, recording time, etc.) in memory and displays it on the TV
screen. You can see the contents of a tape at a glance so it is easy to locate the start of
a program you want to view and also locate the beginning of the non-recorded section
(for later recording).
Tape Navigation only functions when using a tape recorded by this VCR.
Tape Navigation stores tape data in memory. If the data is erased due to a memory
defect, etc., the registered data will not be able to be recovered.
The tape data is not erased even if a power failure occurs or the power cord is
unplugged from the AC outlet.
