The Tape Manager will tell you:
• on which tape you have recorded programs,
• on which tape you have enough blank space for new recordings, and
• what recordings are on a tape.
Information about every recording made on this VCR will be memo-
rized (date, start and stop time, length, and channel). Tapes will have
a unique number to identify them.
