Curiosity: what is the strategy the dvx uses to find end of last recording on the tape, i assume it's not just randomly cueing the tape...

You can use the "REC Check" function to back-up to the last 2 secs. of recorded material. To position the tape to avoid a time code break use the "END SEARCH" button.

See your manual for details.

Thanks Ken, but that was not what I ment, I was wondering _how_ it locates the end of recording, when you press END SEARCH, obviously it's queing back & forth, I was just curious about _what_ it was doing.

I assume that it searches for a time code boundary. That is, a place where the recorded time code ends.
