SmartFile Function

To check the information of a registered program

Press SMARTFILE.

The SmartFile search list appears. The registered program number,
registration date and recording time appear in this list. Note that the
registration date differs from the recorded date.

Tips
• The programs recorded on the tape can be registered again in a SmartFile label that

already contains program data. However, the recorded date and time, program
name and information input manually (such as the program label and category) are
replaced with “Program No. XX”.

• If the SmartFile label contains stored program data that includes protected

programs, a message appears and registration stops.

Notes
• Program data is not registered correctly in the SmartFile label when:

– the program length is about 20 minutes or less in EP mode or about 7 minutes or

less in SP mode.

– the program does not have an index signal or the index signal has been recorded

over and erased.

– the tape is damaged or dirty.

• If you don’t set the clock or the clock isn’t set to the correct date, the registration

date won’t be stored correctly on the SmartFile list.

• After you press SMARTFILE GENERATOR and start registration, registration is

interrupted if you press x STOP, H PLAY, M

FF, m

REW, `/1 or ./>

INDEX SEARCH. In these cases as well, the data registered up to the point when
registration was interrupted remains in the SmartFile label.

• Tape speed may not be registered correctly when:

– you set AUTO TAPE SPEED to ON in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu, and the

tape speed automatically changes from SP to EP during recording.

– you use tapes recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs.
