when recorded programmes run for 15 minutes or less.

¡ In the EP mode, a programme of at least 25 minutes must

be recorded on the tape.

is set correctly, as otherwise, this function will not operate
correctly. (See page 15.)

playback stops immediately, and the PROGRAMME LIST
SEARCH screen appears.

¡ Up to 8 programmes can be displayed on the

PROGRAMME LIST SEARCH screen. If the timer is used to
record more than 9 programmes, the oldest programme
will be deleted on the PROGRAMME LIST SEARCH
screen, and a new timer-recorded programme will be
entered and displayed.

¡ This function may not work properly depending on the tape

position when you press the SEARCH button 4.

¡ This function may not work properly when for example, you

try to record over a programme with another programme
that is timer-recorded on the same portion of the tape.
