Auto SP/EP Change Function
If, during a timer recording performed in SP mode, this unit 
determines that the remaining tape time is insufficient to record the 
program to its end, the Auto SP/EP Change function automatically 
changes the tape speed to EP to ensure that the whole program 
will be recorded.
Depending on the remaining tape length, recording may be 
performed in EP mode from the start. However, if the remaining 
tape time is still not sufficient in this case, the program cannot be 
recorded to the end.
≥The tape length must be set correctly. (lpage 30.)
≥Some tapes may not work correctly.
≥If the recording speed changes from SP to EP during a timer 
recording, some brief picture distortion occurs at that point.

To Set the Category
The category setting allows you to find what kind of programs are 
recorded by the character and the icon indications.
1) Press [Cursor]1 while the 
Jet Navigator list appears. 
Then, select the desired 
category by pressing 
[Cursor]3421.
2) Press [MENU].
Notes:
≥The Jet Navigator list is stored in each cassette.
≥Signals approximately 10 seconds before and after the current 
tape position are checked. (During this checking, [CHECKING 
JET NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed on the TV screen.)
≥Checking cannot be performed properly where there are no 
signals, such as at unrecorded portions of the tape. In this case, 
press [NAVI] at a portion of the tape where a program has been 
recorded on this unit. This will allow signal checking to be 
performed more reliably. When a signal can still not be found, the 
message [CAN NOT FIND JET NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed 
on the TV.
≥Up to 20 cassettes and 50 programs can be registered.
≥If data for 50 recorded programs is already stored in memory and 
you attempt to store timer recording data for another program, 
the message [REMAINING PROGRAM 0 DELETE JET 
NAVIGATOR DATA] appears. If you attempt to make a new 
recording, this same message also appears after you insert the 
cassette and the Jet Navigator data is checked. As each timer 
recording or manual recording is finished, the program data is 
deleted, starting from the oldest data.
≥If a new program is attempted to be recorded when data for 20 
cassettes are already stored in memory, [REMAINING 
CASSETTE 0 FOR JET NAVIGATOR DELETE JET 
NAVIGATOR DATA] is displayed. Programs recorded without 
deleting data as instructed are not registered in the list.
When Recording Over the Same Location on a Tape:
≥The originally recorded program is deleted from the list.
≥Program contents starting near the start and end of the newly 
recorded program (within 10 minutes in EP mode
¢ before the 
start and after the end of the newly recorded program) are also 
erased.
(Although old program contents are also similarly erased in the 
case of ordinary recording, the newly recorded program is not 
registered in the list.)
¢17 minutes in VP mode
To Demonstrate the Jet Navigator 
Function

cassette tape.

program quickly and easily.
Preparations
≥Display the unit’s picture on the TV.
≥Switch [VCR/TV/DVD] to “VCR”.
≥Insert a recorded video cassette.
Example:
Searching for the 2nd recorded segment in the forward direction.
While stopped or during play,

(This operation is performed while the unit is 
in the stop mode or normal playback mode.)
≥After finding the specific recorded 
segment, playback starts automatically.
To cancel the Index Search or to stop playback
Press [∫].
Notes:
≥If you press [ 9] too many times, simply press [: ] to 
correct it. In this way, you can reduce the displayed figure down 
to 1.
≥Up to 20 index signals can be searched for in both directions.
≥The figure on the display decreases by 1 each time an index 
signal is located.
ªRecording Index Signals
Index signals are recorded in the following cases.
≥When a recording is started by pressing [REC¥] (¥REC/OTR).
≥When [REC¥] on the remote controller
 is pressed during 
recording.
≥When timer recording is activated.
Note:
≥This feature may not work correctly if the marks are too close 
together. Make recordings of at least 15 minutes (25 minutes in
