Notes
• The interval of the boundaries between the dates needs more than two minutes. The
camcorder may not search if the beginning of the recorded date is too close to the next one.
• The black cursor on the screen indicates the date that was selected previously.
• If a tape has a blank portion in the beginning or between recorded portions, the date search
function will not work correctly.
• Up to 24 date data can be stored in a cassette with 16 K memory.
