TAPE MANAGER
INTRODUCTION
The Philips Tape Manager is a very
helpful and powerful assistant.
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.
Find a Title
This function is useful when you wish to
quickly find out what programmes you
have recorded on a tape using this VCR.
It allows you to select a programme to
watch, and then automatically searches
for the start of the programme.

Load a Recorded Cassette
Insert a recorded cassette. The tape will
run for a few seconds to search for the
tape number. The tape number is
displayed on the screen for about 5
seconds.

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;
-For PAL signal: 8 minutes for the SP
mode or 15 minutes for the LP mode.
-For NTSC signal: 5 minutes for the SP
mode or 15 minutes for the SLP mode.
• 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 program, then when
you remove the tape, the tape will be
assigned just one number (smaller
number).
