About the SmartFile function
SmartFile* allows you to view the contents of your video tape (recording
date, channel, etc.) on the TV screen. It is no longer necessary to rewind,
fast-forward, or play back a tape to find out what is recorded. You can also
locate and start playback of a specific program, or find the position from
which you want to start recording by using this list. Program data is stored
in the memory of the SmartFile label attached to the tape.
The following functions are possible using SmartFile:
Recording using the SmartFile
function (page 41)
To use the SmartFile function, attach the
SmartFile label to the tape. If you record a
program on a tape with a SmartFile label, the
contents will appear on the SmartFile search list.
With the SmartFile list, you can also easily find
the beginning of the available recording space.
Selecting and playing a program (page 50)
To play back a recorded program, select the program you want to watch
using the SmartFile search list. The VCR locates the program and playback
starts automatically.
Checking the contents of a tape
(page 52)
When you bring the SmartFile label close to the
SMARTFILE sensor on the VCR, a summary of
the recorded programs appears in the SmartFile
check list. It is not necessary to insert the tape
into the VCR and press H PLAY to find out
what is recorded on it. This feature allows you
to easily find the program you want to watch, or
to quickly find a tape with enough recording
space.
