SmartFile electronic indexing system identifies each show either by name or by recording date, time, and channel, helping you index your home videos; SmartFile displays the tape's longest unused recording time right on your VCR front panel. The system also lets you protect individual shows from rerecording. It even automatically finds blank tape, making it easy to record new programs. The special self-adhesive SmartFile label attaches to the spine of any conventional VHS cassette turning it into a "smart" cassette; five labels are included with the purchase of a SmartFile VCR.
