Note: The linear time counter with the memory feature in the viewfinder can also be
displayed on the connected television.
Date Search
The date search function memorizes the start and end positions of recordings you made
on a specific day so you can easily locate those positions later as long as the cassette
is left in the camcorder.
Note: Be sure that the date and time are set.
1. Attach a power source and slide the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to VIDEO.
2. Press the DATE/TITLE button (DISPLAY on the remote control) to display "SEARCH"
in the viewfinder.
3. Press the REW button to search for the start position from which you last made a
recording or the F.F button (the F.FWD button on the remote control) to recording end
position.
4. When the required position is located, the camcorder enters the stop mode and
"SEARCH" disappears from the viewfinder.
Note: If you have ejected the cassette, this function will not operate with that cassette.
(When a cassette is inserted and the recording is started, the position is identified as the
recording start position on that day.)
Note: If the date/title battery is not inserted, the date search function does not operate
when the battery providing the power to the camcorder is removed.
Note: When the cassette was recorded by another camcorder, the date search function
does not operate.
Note: The date search function is released when you press the STOP button during date
search mode.
Note: If the recorded time is less than 30 seconds, the date search function may not
operate normally.
