Speed search
Use speed search to visually search through the contents of a videotape.
1While playing a tape, press FF or REW on the front panel or on the remote control. You will see the picture as it fast forwards or rewinds. Noise bars may appear in the pictures.
2If you press FF or REW and hold it down for about 1 second, the search speed will increase.
3To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again quickly, or press PLAY.
IMPORTANT
The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is about 30 times normal speed. It is normal for the number of noise bars on the screen to increase and roll from top to bottom as the visual search speed increases. Using speed search for long stretches of tape may cause the video heads to become dirty faster.
The fastest way to move through the tape is without a picture, which allows you to search up to 500 times normal speed. To do this, press STOP, then FF or REW. If you press and hold FF or REW for more than 2 seconds, the search speed will slow to 330 times normal speed.
In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads, the Fast Forwarding/Rewinding Speed will be slower than 500x under the following conditions:

2Activating fast forwarding or rewinding from the middle of the tape.

2When you wish to return to the point specified in step 1, press AUDIO/VIDEO on the remote control. The function menu appears on your screen. Press AUDIO/VIDEO until the Counter zero stop function appears.
