Searching the boundaries of recorded tape with
date – date search
You can search for the boundaries of recorded tape with date – Date Search function. To
search the beginning of the specific date and play back from the point, there are two ways:
•Using cassette memory, you can select the date displayed on the LCD screen.
•Without using cassette memory.
You can only operate with the Remote Commander.
Searching for the date by using cassette memory
You can use this function only when playing back a tape with cassette memory (p. 116).
(1) Set the POWER switch to VTR.
(2) Press MENU to display the menu.
(3) Turn the control dial to select CM SEARCH in
, then press the dial.
(4) Turn the control dial to select ON, then press the dial.
(5) Press SEARCH MODE on the Remote Commander repeatedly, until the date search
indicator appears.

Notes
•The interval of the boundaries between the dates needs more than two minutes. The
camcorder may not search if the beginning of the recorded date is too close to the next one.
•The black cursor on the screen indicates the date that was selected previously.
•If a tape has a blank portion in the beginning or between recorded portions, the date search
function will not work correctly.
•Up to six date data can be stored in a cassette memory.
