The point is, when a person is going to record, they should only have
to hit RECORD, and the END SEARCH should not even have a function in
record mode.
99% of the time, when a person is recording something, they have no
intention of recording over the material they have already recorded.
Most companies are smart enough to recognize that and take it into
account, but not SOny.
