a tape, only pictures recorded between 9:00 and 17:30 can be
found using the time date search.
• The time date search may not function correctly, if you use a
tape with a poor recording quality or with alarm recordings
recorded at several recording mode.

recorded with other VCRs or a tape recorded without setting
the current day and time.
Info.
• When the desired part of the tape is not found in the selected
direction, the VCR automatically searches in the opposite
direction.
