USING INDEX SEARCH
Your VCR has the VHS Index Search System. Each time you start recording, the VCR auto- matically marks the tape with an index mark at that location. You can locate the recording you want to play or skip the recording(s) you don’t want to watch by either entering the number of index marks or by scanning. The VCR searches forward or backward from the current location.
Notes:
•Since the VCR does not display the index marks, we recommend you list the record- ings on each tape in order on the tape’s box, to make it easier to locate a particular recording on the tape.
•Index search might not function properly when two or more index marks are close to each other.
•If you do not press any button within 10 seconds after you select INDEX SEARCH, the VCR cancels index search.
•If you activate the direct access index search at a tape position very close to an index mark, the VCR might not count that mark. See “Direct Access Index Search” on Page 35.
•Recording over an index mark erases that index mark.
