SmartFile Function 44
Recording using the SmartFile function (continued)
Recording after locating the
Blank Time space
The SmartFile function identifies not
only the largest amount of available
blank space, but also recorded material
that doesn’t have corresponding
program data stored in the SmartFile
label. The longest available recording
space (including programs that are not
stored on the SmartFile label) is referred
to as “Blank Time space”. You can locate
the beginning of the Blank Time space
for recording. If there is a recorded
program after the Blank Time space, the
VCR will record over that program
unless you stop recording. If there is a
program you want to prevent from
being recorded over or erased, protect
that program before you start recording
another program (see page 58).
Before you start…
• Turn on your TV and set it to the
video channel.
