HV20 - cannot do END SEARCH
Hi
I would like to do end search on my tape during playback. It used to work before, but now this menu item is disabled in the menu and I cannot select it. What am I missing? Thanks Slava |

Have you ejected the tape at all since recording the material?

Yes, I have
Does it work only if tape is never ejected? Strange Thanks |

Alas, that is how it works. (See the Notes on pg. 32 of the HV20 NTSC manual)
Once you've manually found the end though, as you append more recordings after it, the camera will remember the new end until the next time you eject the tape.

The alternative is to buy DV tapes that have memory chips which will allow you to an end search regardless of having ejected the tape.

Canon camcorders can't read that chip. Only certain Sony camcorders can make use of it.
