of CASSETTE MEMORY SEARCH in the DSR-40/40P’s menu.
For more information about menu operations, refer to the operating instructions
for the DSR-40/40P.

How signals are recorded
The VCR marks the tape when REC is pressed.
There are three different signals for each search method. The type of signal
recorded and where it is recorded (on the tape or in the cassette memory)
depends on the video equipment used for recording. Please note that if the
signals for certain search type are not recorded, you cannot do that type of
search.
