than once a day when:

• Once the AUTO DATE feature turns off the date display 10 seconds after the start of recording,
the date and time are displayed as follows:

Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape, run the tape for about I5 seconds before starting the

To prevent accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to expose the red mark, If you try to
record with the red mark exposed, the _
and A indicators flash in the viewfinder, and you dannoi
record.
To re-record on this tape, slide the tab back out covering the red mark.
